They came to this side of J&K with empty pockets and bare footed and suffered untold sufferings and injustice at the hands of earlier state and centre dispensation.
The delegation urged upon the Lt Governor to prepare a comprehensive rehabilitation policy for DPs as per the latest parliamentary committee’s on Home Affairs Report No. 183, till PoK is liberated by India from the illegal occupation of Pakistan.

Lt. Governor’s attention was also drawn towards the fact that due to frequent transfer of PROs, the process of disbursement of the instant package has come to standstill since May 2020. Not a single case has been processed due to non-availability of PROs and DPs are having lot of resentment.
