| Union Ministries approve Pandit rehabilitation plan | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 28: Reports from New Delhi Indicate that the Ministries of Finance, Defence and External Affairs, have given their nod to the new plan prepared by the Ministry of Home Affairs on rehabilitation of Kashmiri displaced people back in the valley.
Official sources said that after receiving nod from the Ministries of finance, External Affairs and Defence the plan is to be submitted to the union cabinet for approval. According to sources, after three ministries have given their okay to the plan cabinet nod has become mere formality which was to be completed within a couple of days..
Sources made it clear that the Union Home Ministry has found a via media between two extreme stands, one taken by the centre for rehabilitating the displaced people either in separate clusters or in a composite township and second by the state Government keen to resettle the displaced people in their native villages and towns. Finding that rehabilitation of displaced people in their native villages and towns was not only cumbersome but involved various complicacies because majority of the displaced people had sold their houses and land in their ancestral places.
Hence the Union Home Ministry has sought sanction for creation of another 3,000 posts for displaced youth. During the previous Congress led UPA Government the centre had created 6,000 posts for the displaced youth out of which the wages for 3,000 posts had to be met by the Government of India and the state Government had to meet the wages for the remaining 3,000 posts.
However, the previous state Government had conveyed to the centre that since the financial position did not warrant the state Government to meet the wages of 3,000 posts the centre should bear the establishment cost for all the 6,000 posts. The previous central Government kept the matter under the carpet with the result not more than 1700 to 2,000 displaced youth joined Government departments in the Kashmir valley.
Besides creation of 3,000 additional posts for the displaced youth the Union Home Ministry has suggested to the cabinet to accord sanction to the proposal under which the per person cash relief to migrants was to be increased from Rs.1600 to Rs.2500 and the maximum relief per family be raised from Rs.6600 to Rs.10,000 per month/..In fact the demand for increasing the cash relief had been made by the leaders of the displaced people some five years ago and the previous state Government had forwarded its recommendation to the centre but the previous Congress led UPA Government had again kept the matter under the carpet. |
