On 18th November 2004 the then Honb’le Prime Minister of India Dr Manmohan Singh visited Muthi Camp Phase I and he was pleased to make an announcement for construction of Two Room Sets for Kashmiri Migrants residing in cemented roof sheeted sheds in camps. A high level team from PMO visited some camps and subsequent to their visit sanction was accorded for construction of 5248 two room sets including allied facilities like Community Halls, Higher Secondary Schools, Prime Health Centers, Water Supply, Electric Supply, Small Hospitals, Road & Drainage system, STP plant, Parks etc under Prime Ministers Reconstruction Program (PMRP). Accordingly Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) sanctioned the project for construction of 5248 flats for the welfare of the Kashmiri Migrants in 2 phases for the migrant camps Muthi, Purkhoo and Nagrota during the year September 2005, in which 4224 flats had been taken up at Mini Township Jagti-Nagrota during the year 2007. After completing the Construction of the said project the camp resided migrant families were accommodated/allotted two room tenement in the year 2010, after doing screening exercise initiated by the Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioners Department headed by the then Commissioner.
Now, after passed more than 13 years duration of time, the allottees of these tenement KP migrants of Jagti are being harassed by the Relief Organization by sealing of the quarter’s on unknown reasons, also stopping of meager cash assistance to some relief holders, denying ration slips to the families who are working all over the country for their livelihood, instead of make the living conditions of KP migrants easy but doing these kind of actions to camp intimates by the Relief Organization Migrants department is totally injustice and urged to the LG Government to take stern action in this matter.
We inform the government that it seems to be peak of corrupt practices by the concerned authorities. We demand strict disciplinary action against these officers who are indulged in harassing the KP migrants.
We, warn the concerned authorities, if they do not stop harassing the Jagti Migrant Camp inhabitants, they will be responsible for any untoward incident or any ugly agitation in this connection.
