| Hit by enemy bullet farmer waits to get justice from govt | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 18: At a time when the state government is gearing up to finalise rehabilitation policy for youth willing to return home after a long stay in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), question marks have been raised over the neglect faced by those who became victims of unprovoked firing incidents between the two neighbouring countries and still running from pillar to post to get their due share from the state government.
One such case has come to light in the RS Pura sector of Jammu frontier where a farmer identified as Santokh Singh, is struggling to survive with meager resources facing the wrath of insensitive babudom.
Bedridden for last over 12 years Santokh was fit by an enemy bullet from across the border in January 1998 and till date his family is struggling to get fair justice from the state government.
At present his brother is fighting on behalf of his brother.
After politicians and state government officials failed to extend him helping hand his brother went to the court and sought compensation under SRO 43 seeking government job for next kith and kin.
The state government pleaded before the court of law that SRO 43 is meant for those cases where someone has lost life in the militancy related violence and in this case since Santokh Singh is still living how the benefits can be extended to his family for their survival.
Meanwhile, Singh is still hoping to get justice from the state government and with tears rolling down his cheeks he quietly sends a prayer to the god almighty to inspire all those people handling his case with a humanitarian approach so that his family can no longer feel the pain of nursing him when he should be working in the fields to feed them.
