| Domicile certificates bring smiles on faces of WPRs | | Hope to get central grants, kept unspent by erstwhile dispensation | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 27: West Pakistan Refugees getting domicile certificates has brought smiles on their faces and they are hoping that the central grants which were approved in their favour earlier will now be utilized to the fullest.
Now, West Pakistan Refugees (WPRs), Safai Karamcharis and children of women married outside Jammu and Kashmir, who were earlier deprived of J&K’s citizenship, are also eligible for domicile certificates. West Pakistani Refugees were part of the Parliamentary electoral roll but they didn’t find a place in the electoral rolls of the erstwhile J&K State. After J&K’s reorganization, they are now covered under the 15-year residency rule and their children under the 7-year/ class 10/12 rule.
Now, the question remains after the domicile certificates have been issued in their favour, will they also get the central grants which were sanctioned in their favour?
