Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 1: Special boarding arrangments have been made at a number of places in the Kashmir valley for those youths,belonging to the Kashmiri displaced families,who were to be issued appointment letters within 10 days after the Durbar opens in Jammu.
Stating this the Minister for Revenue and Relief,Raman Bhalla,said that the delay in issuance of the appointment letters was the result of difficult security scenario in the Kashmir valley since June 11.He said that since various Kashmiri Pandit organisations had started blaming the state Government for the deferment of the Prime Minister's employmeent package "we shall be issuing the appointment letters within 10 to 15 days after the Durbar opens in Jammu."
In reply to a question Bhalla said he had personally visited some of the flats that had been built at Vesu near Qazigund,Pulwama and other places and "I was satisfied with the board and lodge arrangements that had been made for the youths belonging to the displaced families."
Asked how many youths were to receive the appointment letters the Minister said that he had directed the concerned Departmental heads to issue appointment orders to 2400 youths and the remaining 600 posts had been kept in the reserved category.In reply to another question Bhalla said that in case there were no sufficient number of Kashmiri migrant youths who could come under reserved category the vacant posts would be filled with youths from the general category and that too on open merit.
Bhalla said that soon after receiving the appointment letters the selected youths are supposed to join the places of postings within 21 days failing which they would lose the right to be given jobs under the Prime Minister's employment package. He made it clear that all thse 3,000 posts had been created for the Kashmiri migrant youths only for the valley.No selected candidate can expect to be posted somwhere else than in the valley.
Asked about the fate of the 3,000 remaining posts because under the Prime Ministers' package 3,000 posts were to be kept in the central sector and the r emaining 3,000 posts in the state sector Bhalla said that he had requested the central Government to include the remaining 3,000 posts in the central sector because the state's weak resources had not allowed it to meet the wage bill of the employees selected under the PM's employment package.
Bhalla also wanted to remove certain misgivings having been created in certain quarters that Kashmiri displaced people were being given a raw deal.He said expenses on whatever cash assistance,free ration and any other benefits that were being given to the Kashmiri migrants were being met by the central Government.
He added that only the centre can come to the rescue of the jammu migrants and the refugees from Pakistan and occupied Kashmir.
He said "we have been raising the issues pertaining to the problems of the Jammu migrants and the refugees with the union Government and we hope that the Government of India will announce some relief package for them."
