JK Govt to release withheld salary of Kashmir Pandits

Early Times Report

Jammu, Oct 15: In the wake of fresh targeted killing of a Kashmir Pandit in Shopian on October 15, the government is likely to release the withheld-salary of employees on protest “demanding their relocation to a safer place amid their killings by terrorists.”
Sources said in the wake of the killing of the victim, identified as Puran Krishan Bhat, who was fired upon by terrorists while he was on his way to the orchard at Choudhary Gund in Shopian, New Delhi has asked Jammu and Kashmir administration to reconsider the decision of the withholding the salary of the protesting employees and to release the same forthwith.
Sources said the matter was discussed threadbare in the wake of the killing. In September, the Labour Department of Kashmir and Additional Deputy Commissioner, Anantnag, had issued orders to stop the salaries of Kashmiri Pandit employees on strike in the Valley.
In his order, Deputy Labour Commissioner (DLC) Kashmir had directed all Assistant Labour Commissioners across districts in Kashmir to stop the salaries of these employees for September.
The DLC sought the leave accounts of all the employees of the department and said, “Further, salary for September 2022 should not be drawn in respect of those PM package employees, who have remained absent during September.”
Nearly 4000 Kashmiri Pandits began working in different departments in Kashmir after their selection under the Prime Minister’s employment package.
Since the killing of their colleague Rahul Bhat, they had been on “an indefinite strike” with a demand for their relocation outside Kashmir. Bhat was shot dead by terrorists inside his office in Budgam district of central Kashmir on May 12.
There has a spike in the target killing of Kashmir Pandits in the last two odd years. The latest victim was Puran Krishan Bhat.
“Terrorists fired upon a civilian (minority) Shri Puran Krishan Bhat while he was on way to orchard in Chowdhary Gund Shopian. He was immediately shifted to hospital for treatment where he succumbed. Area cordoned off. Search in progress,” the Jammu and Kashmir Police tweeted.
