| Jeora Farm victims await compensation Omar failed to amend SRO-43 as promised | | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 9: ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 When former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah visited the border areas to take stock of the security situation and sympathise with the families who had lost their loved ones in frequent incidents of cross border firing along the International border, he had made a commitment to bring the victims of militancy and cross border firing at par because they `faced the same bullets'.
"Both (the border firing victims and militancy victims) face the same bullets of Pakistan. Therefore, they can't be discriminated. I will go back to Srinagar and amend SRO 43 to bring the firing and militancy victims at par so that the border migrants are benefited of the decision,'' former Chief Minister had announced.
Ironcially, on Monday when media teams visited Jeora farms after one of the civilian was hurt in the cross border firing late Sunday night many senior citizens in the area exposed the political dispensation of the day by claiming that the victims of cross border firing and their families were not duly compensated by the state government despite doling out assurances.
"The victim families were paid Rs 1 lakh instead of Rs 5 lakh compensation promised by the Chief Minister", nomads told reporters.
The nomads issued a fresh appeal to the state govt to listen to their pleas and address the issue of rehabilitating them at a safer place behind Jeora farms to ensure safety of their children and women. We cannot afford to stay here as every day we are facing bullets. We are worried for the well being of our children and live stock. The nomads claimed all those people who lost their live stock were not compensated by the government till date. |
