| KPC expresses concern over living conditions in valley migrant camps | | | Early Times report
Jammu, July 31: Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC) has expressed concern over living conditions and basic amenities in migrant camps in valley.
According to press release, a team of KPC led by Kundan Kashmiri visited migrant camps in Nutnussa, Kupwara and took serious note of grave problems faced by these migrant employees in each and every camp in valley.
"At Nutnussa( Kupwara) Migrant employee camp, the situation is worrisome and pitiable one.
The inmates have been denied from comfortable residential facilities from the last three years.
At present they are accommodated in transit accommodation consist of only sixty huts for more than two hundred KP migrant employees including female ones having families with them and these huts are constructed of very substandard fabric- sheets and unlikely to last for three or four years", he said.
Kundan Kashmiri further observed, "This surrounding fencing wall of this transit colony is very short and small in size which results wild animals have all accessibility and passage to enter in to the camp.
The security of the camp is also not up to the mark and no guard is deployed in vulnerable areas of the camp during night time.
There is no provision of safe drinking water facility for these KP migrant employees in the colony and water supply comes in the shape of two water tankers which comes from dirty nallah of river Mawar", adding, "Besides, having acute shortage of electricity comes only for six to eight hours during 24 hours of day and night.it is very difficult to survive in this isolated and densely forest area without electricity or any other lightening arrangements".
Kashmiri further alleged that the state administration had also failed to provide basic needs which include Rice , gas and other necessities of life to these KP migrant employees in the camp, which resulted these migrant employees were suffering very badly in day to day life.
"The another serious problem which is faced by these migrant employees in the camp is lack of market facility. There is no any market facility in and around the camp or nearer to this camp and they have to go even for a small purchasing to Kupwara or to Handwara main markets which are around ten kilometers away from this camp", he said." Some migrant employees of this colony are originally from back areas of District Kupwara which include from Tekkipora, Kandi, Panzzipora and other places, presently residing and posted in their respective areas and District concern, hence no change is in their backward area status.
But unfortunately present Govt in the state of J&k has declined the said backward status to them for the reasons known to these politicians and administrators of state", he said. |
