Rashpal Singh Chib, president of the Front was leading. They were raising slogans demanding settlement of their issue once for all. The DPs were also demanding that process of distribution of Rs 2000 crore package announced by Prime Minister Modi be started but mere this amount is not acceptable. They also rejected the notification issued by the Deputy Commissioner Jammu in this regard and said that it is confusing and most irrelevant. They alleged that only this meager package excluding other components even recommended by the Joint Parliamentary Committee is not acceptable to them. While addressing the agitating DPs, Chib asked the Government to release the already announced package in favour of DP families. He said several months are over but the process has not yet commenced. He demanded that leftout families should also be enlisted/ registered, minimum Rs 30 lakh compensation be provided to each family, ALC certificate to all DPs, provide 15 % reservation to their wards in colleges and other professional institutes and political reservation to DPs and provide ownership rights to those allotted EP houses or given such lands. He also demanded formation of Development Board for this community. The refugees leader said that during previous assembly elections, Modi had made announcement of package but that has not been fulfilled and the members of the community are watching this all very closely. He also demanded that refugee leaders should be taken into confidence before disbursement of financial package. He also said proper verification be done before disbursement of package.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
