Distribute interim relief within one week or pack your bags: Omar to officers Kashmir Floods 10/8/2014 11:52:06 PM ET Report SRINAGAR, Oct 8: After Early Times reported that State Government is maintaining silence over the distribution of interim relief to the flood victims, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today asked the officials to distribute Rs 75000 within one week to the victims whose houses have collapsed due to devastating floods and if they (officials) fail to do so they should pack their bags. Pertinently, Early Times in its Tuesday's edition had carried a news story "Omar Govt maintains criminal silence over future of flood victims" and had reported that they have not received the interim aid of Rs 75000 promised by the Chief Minister. Taking the cognizance of the news report Chief Minister during a high level monitoring meeting here said all the Deputy Commissioners should be sensitized in this regard so that affected families whose houses have totally damaged get urgent interim relief in one week's time from today. "Ask the Deputy Commissioners to complete the task within one week from today or pack their bags", he told the top level bureaucrats present in the meeting. Omar said that whatever support-back the Deputy Commissioners require in this regard should be provided to them and no leniency given to anyone in addressing the issue in the stipulated time frame. Omar said that the houses which are visibly collapsed before everybody's eyes should not take any time to certify and provide interim relief to the house owners. The Chief Minister said that focus should be on putting in place a concrete rehabilitation programme, particularly to provide temporary shelters to those whose houses have totally damaged and are residing in tents on roadsides. "They cannot be left like this as the winter is approaching", he told the administration and asked the Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir to take immediate measures in this regard so that these people are temporarily rehabilitated. "You should sit with the concerned officers to ascertain the number of these families and formulate a befitting temporary rehabilitation programme for them", he directed the Divisional Commissioner asking him to act on this task as fast as could be done.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
