EARLY TIMES REPORT

Jammu, Oct 15: Former MLC and Chief Spokesperson of Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee has questioned the Govt. decision to wind up the PRO Jammu from Custodian Office, causing undue hardships to the suffering displaced community of 1947 from POJK and asked the Govt. to restore the status quo besides strengthening of PRO with manpower. Terming the decision as ill advised and a step taken on the behest of certain vested interests, Sharma said that it is anti-refugee step of the present dispensation, without realizing the hardships to be caused to the displaced community by such action. He said that instead of strengthening the provincial rehabilitation organization, the Govt. has shifted its office to the civil secretariat, beyond the approach of common refugees who would visit from farflung areas of the Jammu province for redressal of their grievances besides getting copies of their old reords.
The displaced community of over 31,719 families out of which 26,319 families registered in J&K and residing in various parts of Jammu province have numerous pending issues with PRO Jammu. It was in 1982 by then Sheikh Abdullah Govt., that such anti-refugee step was taken, which was vehemently opposed by the Congress & refugees organizations J&K Sharnarthi Action Committee headed by Sardar Bachan Singh Panchhi, as a result the PRO Office was restored by vesting powers to custodian Jammu in 1984 by the then Shah Govt. supported by Congress.
