| Bhim calls meeting of Jammu migrants on Dec 20 | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 14: Panthers Party leader Bhim Singh has called an emergency meeting of Jammu Migrants hailing from Poonch, Rajouri, Udhampur, Ramban, Doda, Kathua and other areas of Jammu province and camping in Talwara, Belicharana and other areas in utter neglect for the past 10 years.
It may be recalled that Supreme Court had directed Government of India and the State Government to provide relief in cash and kind to the migrants in July 2006 along with the arrears. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir had admitted on affidavit before the Supreme Court and before the High Court of J&K that there were 1529 approved migrant families residing in Talwara camp and other areas who had not been paid any relief from 2004 to 2007. The J&K Government also admitted that the arrears amounted to about Rs. 22 crores and had also given in writing to the Centre for the release of this relief.
In contempt case which was referred by the Supreme Court of India to the Chief Justice of J&K for appropriate action, the High Court of J&K in its judgment dated November 11, 2009 had directed the State Government to make payment of entire arrears and relief to all the 1529 families within 45 days failing which contempt proceedings shall be initiated against the State Chief Minister and Union Home Secretary.
Prof Singh alleged that Relief Commissioner has deliberately, intentionally and with malafide intention ignored 780 families in paying relief on the pretext that the families were not traceable.
Prof Singh has asked all the migrant families and their groups to the meeting which will be held at Brahmin Sabha/Parade Ground, Jammu on December 20, 2009
