JAMMU: The safety of Kashmiri Pandits was the government’s top priority and the J&K government was taking all possible measures to ensure that, lieutenant-governor Manoj Sinha told the community on Thursday, adding that this was “the commitment of the Government of India and the Prime Minister”.
Addressing a gathering at the three-day Mahashivratri Mahotsav at Jagti Colony and Migrant Camp, Buta Nagar, in Jammu, Sinha assured the community that the J&K government “always stands by you”.
“You (Kashmiri Pandits) have suffered a lot for three long decades…I hope that with your return, Kashmir will find its lost glory,” he said.
The outreach comes in the wake of criticism from Rahul Gandhi, who recently alleged that the J&K administration was forcing Kashmiri Pandits, especially the PM Package employees, to stay on in Kashmir valley despite targeted attacks on them by the terrorists.
Sharing the progress of construction of housing units for PM Package employees in Kashmir, Sinha said the work was in full swing and 1,200 dwellings would be handed over by April and 2,500 more by December.
The LG said in view of the Mahashivratri festival, full salaries of all PM Package and other minority community employees, who had resumed duty in Kashmir, had been released.
“The administration is always ready to resolve all the genuine issues. Continuous efforts are being made to ensure that your problems and grievances are resolved promptly and effectively,” he added.
