| Sanction special police battalion: JK Govt | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Jan 30
The Jammu and Kashmir government has suggested to the Centre to sanction a special police battalion in a bid to provide jobs to West Pakistani and PoK refugees.
Chief Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, said he had taken up problems of refugees with Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, and suggested to him that a special police battalion be sanctioned for them.
Replying to a debate in the legislative Assembly Tuesday evening on demands for grants for departments under his head, he said the children of refugees should also be provided jobs in technical educational institutions.
The Chief Minister said compensation claims of nearly 5,000 PoK families were yet to be settled.
Referring to militancy, Azad said it was wrong to assume that the menace was restricted only to Kashmir.
Thirty-five per cent of the civilians killed belonged to the Jammu division, he said.
Azad said the Prime Minister would call a meeting of all political parties before taking a final decision on recommendations of the working groups set up on Kashmir. |
