Early Times Report
Srinagar, Jan 24: After seeking detailed reports from the Governor NN Vohra about damages to each sector in Jammu and Kashmir due to floods, Central Government on Saturday through the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) released an amount of Rs 85.90 crore for 12,363 beneficiaries and more in this regard is expected within next two days.
According to details initially the financial assistance has been extended to the tune of Rs. 51.44 crore and Rs. 34.46 crore for the construction of 5,144 pucca houses and 6,893 kutcha houses respectively and financial assistance of Rs. 29.71 crore has been extended to the beneficiaries for reconstruction of 2954 pucca and 34 kutcha houses in Srinagar district alone, while as the financial assistance in respect of other districts includes an amount of Rs.5.66 crore for 6 pucca and 1120 kutcha houses in Jammu district; Rs.2.84 crore for 222 pucca and 124 kutcha houses in Bandipora district; Rs.3.66 crore for reconstruction of 11 pucca and 711 kutcha houses in Udhampur district; Rs. 10.36 crore for 40 pucca and 1992 kutcha houses in Rajouri district; Rs. 3.96 crore for 87 pucca and 619 kutcha houses in Poonch district; Rs.6.91 crore for 639 pucca and 104 kutcha houses in Islamabad district; Rs. 4.85 crore for 477 pucca and 16 kutcha houses in Budgam district; Rs.1.6 crore for 4 pucca and 312 kutcha houses in Kathua district; Rs. 6.35 crore for 6 pucca and 1195 kutcha houses in Reasi district.
According to sources, for seeking fool proof information the Governor NN Vohra has already directed the Divisional Commissioners of Kashmir and Jammu divisions to ensure that the requisite information sought by the NDMA regarding full details of Bank Accounts in respect of the remaining cases is immediately made available to them.
The details reveal that Union Home Ministry is also going to decide about releasing Rs. 2,926.11 crore to the J&K government for providing relief and rehabilitation to the flood affected families within next two days and in this regard already Governor had asked the Secretary Revenue to vigorously pursue the Government of India for an urgent decision regarding the package of Rs. 43,959.56 crore which had been forwarded to the Government of India by the Jammu and Kashmir Government earlier on October 11, 2014.
Pertinently the proposal forwarded by the then State Government comprised two components which include an amount of Rs. 2,926.11 crore for providing relief and rehabilitation to the affected families and Rs. 41,033.45 crore for the reconstruction of the damaged infrastructures in the state. After the process of assembly elections started in Jammu and Kashmir post floods, central government delayed the release of amount meant for the rehabilitation of flood affected families of the state by citing misuse of funds in the tune of elections as the main reason. According to sources after promulgation of Governors rule in Jammu and Kashmir, the Governor has addressed the Union Home about the consideration of the State Government's claim of Rs. 2,926.11 crore for the relief and rehabilitation of flood affected families and has asked the Chief Secretary to convene an immediate meeting of all concerned Administrative Secretaries and fix a firm dateline by which each of them shall prepare detailed proposals deliver to the concerned Ministry in the Government of India on due dates. |
