Bhat Relief Commissioner (Migrants) and Davinder Singh Bhau Director Relief Commissioner Organization (Migrants), here today and apprised them of the difficulties being faced by the DP families settled outside Jammu and Kashmir, in getting themselves registered for Domicile certificate.
Rajiv Chuni, Chairman of the S. O. S. International, who was leading the delegation comprising of Prof N. N. Sharma, V. K. Datta, Amarjit Singh and Ved Raj Bali, told the Relief Commissioner that application forms of the Displaced Persons for registration were being rejected by the officials without assigning specific reasons or on absurd grounds. He explained that there was no clarity with regard to Column 12 and Column 13 in the Registration application forms, which are meant for Permanent Address and Present Address, respectively, thus confusing the applicants.
“Since these Displaced families are presently settled outside Jammu and Kashmir, their present address is ought to be in other parts of the country but the concerned officials are rejecting their applications on the basis of their being outsiders,” he explained and reminded that this exercise of registration with the Relief Commissioner was particularly meant for those DPs only who are settled outside Jammu and Kashmir.
The Relief Commissioner admitted that the applications were rejected because of confusion and he agreed in principal to rectify the mistake. He informed that a notice clarifying the same would be uploaded as annexure to the registration form so that no more confusion remains. |
