Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 20: Migrant labourers who have fled Kashmir after the recent killings in the Valley are up in arms against the J&K administration for its failure to make basic arrangements for them.
The non-locals who have reached Jammu have not been provided with any facility. “We have not been provided with food for the past three days. We just need three trains to move out from Jammu but we are not getting any response from the administration,” they said.
An observer while talking to Early Times said, “Hungry migrant labourers outside Jammu Railway Station depict how developed Naya J&K is. They were doing menial jobs for sustenance. These were snatched by the gun wielding ultras. They have been left jobless and to fend on their own. The wrong government policies have rendered everyone from a labourer to a big businessman in lurch. The helmsmen need to introspect as they have made lives of commoners in J&K miserable.” “We were forced to leave Kashmir. But after reaching Jammu we have not been even provided two square meals. We are struggling. Many of us don’t have money. We left our wages in Kashmir and fled away,” the labourers said. “We were told that we should leave Kashmir to save our lives.”
They said, “We are waiting outside the Railway Station for the past three days. Trains are running full and we are running short of money. The J&K Government could have helped us but no one has come forward.” |
