It may be recalled that the Apex Committee on Kashmiri migrants which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah had decided construction of quarters at district headquarters in Kashmir Valley for rehabilitation of migrants. This decision was taken on persistent demand of Kashmiri migrants who demanded that either the community be settled at a single place in valley or at district headquarters.
The State Government has also intimated the same to the Parliamentary Standing Committee and Sub Committee which visited the State early this month that the process for identification of land for rehabilitation of migrants in Valley is under process. The Government is under constant pressure from centre in this regard as it is particular for the implementation of PM's rehabilitation package for migrants in a time bound manner. |
