Jammu, January 27
The displaced Kashmiri Pandits on Friday urged the Centre to increase their monthly relief amount and allocate a new employment package featuring 5,000 jobs in the Kashmir Valley during the upcoming Budget session.
A Kashmiri Pandit family, lacking any government employee as its member, currently receives "meagre" Rs 13,000 per month for sustenance without any enhancement during the last one decade. "I request the Central Government to keep a separate amount for the Kashmiri Pandit community in the forthcoming Budget," Head of Kashmiri Pandit Volunteers Vikram Kaul said. The Kashmiri Pandits also pressed for a renewed employment package tailored for the community in the Valley.
