JAMMU, Oct 5: Reiterating their demand of enhancing cash relief, various displaced Kashmiri Pandit organisations have made a joint appeal to Prime Minister and Union Home Minister seeking their immediate intervention in the matter.
In a joint statement, Dilip Panidta chairman Victims of Terrorism Front, Vinod Pandita, Sanjay Dhar and Sunil Pandita socio political activists said that for about one decade the Government has not hiked the cash assistance to Kashmiri migrants living an exiled life for last 36 years outside Kashmir.
They said that the families dependent on cash relief have no other source of income and in these hard times when the prices of essential commodities have touched sky it is very difficult for such families to make their both ends meet, mange the education of their children etc. They urged the Union Government to look into the issue sympathetically and order the hike in monthly cash assistance so that the displaced families totally dependent on relief are relieved of their worries.
They also demanded an amnesty scheme be announced for the migrants living in Jammu and they be given the benefits of other Government schemes meant for the welfare of the common masses.
