Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Wednesday said that Jammu and Kashmir has taken swift action to resolve the issues of the Kashmiri Pandit employees.
The LG, while addressing a press conference in Jammu, said that almost all migrant Kashmiri Pandits have been posted at various district headquarters and there may be some whose issues are being settled down.
“We have a nodal officer who is monitoring the grievances of migrant KPs. All measures are being taken to resolve their issues,” the LG said, adding that it was not like one would sit home and enjoy salary and other perks.
He, however, said that some targeted killings of KPs took place after which migrant KP groups raised certain concerns. “The administration took swift action and resolved the issues confronting the KP employees working under PMRP,” the LG said.
To a query that there were militant threats about the opening of developmental centers in J-K, the LG said that it was the J-K Administration and the Centre that takes calls on who would work, who would open offices and who would invest here. “Yahan koun rahega aur koun nahi, ye prashasan aur kender Sarkar decide karegi. Who has to stay here and who not will be decided by the J&K administration and Government of India,” the LG said. (KNO)
