He said a hope of relief package and compensation for occupied land has been raised after formation of the new government that would do justice to poor peasants. He said ministers hailing from Jammu region under the leadership of Dr Nirmal Singh, Dy CM J&K, would do justice with those who have been affected with cross-border shelling. Rashpal Singh laid stress on talks with Pakistan for peace and tranquility along IB. He said people "leave their houses, live stocks and agricultural land when the Pakistan Rangers violate ceasefire along the IB". He hoped that the new government would take necessary steps for the peace and development along the IB.Jagdev Singh, an old man, said there were several issues of the border people which had been raised several times since Independence but nothing has been done in this regards. He sought special recruitment for the border people, safety to the affected people and other basic amenities for them. He said the new government should take favourable steps to mitigate their sufferings. |
