Centre may go ahead with separate townships for KPs
Tables subtly turning around in Kashmir
7/2/2019 12:21:36 AM
Early Times Report Jammu, July 1: The central government is all set to initiate a massive rehabilitation programme for the Kashmiri Pandits (KPs) with high possibilities of establishing separate townships for the aggrieved community.

There are also speculations that the government is mulling to establish separate townships for them, a measure that was widely ridiculed in the past by the separatists. However, as the anti-national elements in Kashmir Valley have been to a large extent silenced in Kashmir valley, chances are high that the much-awaited project may see the day's light.

On May 27, 2016, Kashmir witnessed a shutdown after the separatist leaders including Syed Ali Geelani, Yasin Malik and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq i...
