L-G assures time-bound solution to complaints of fraudulent sale, encroachment of immovable assets
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday launched an online portal for time-bound redressal of grievances related to Kashmiri migrants’ immovable properties in the Union Territory (UT). “This initiative will put an end to the plight of the migrants including Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims, who have been suffering since the 1990s. It is the responsibility of the present to rectify the mistakes of the past. I met numerous delegations from across religions in the last 13 months and they unequivocally supported the return of migrants,” Mr. Sinha said. An official said an application filed on the portal will be disposed of in a fixed timeframe under the Public Services Guarantee Act, 2011, by the revenue authorities. The competent authority has been directed to undertake survey and field verification of migrant properties and update all registers within a period of 15 days and submit a compliance report to the Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir.We all remember the childhood history classes on human evolution, which taught us how where men started hunting their food and learned to cook on fire create a fire that paved the way for our culinary adventures across centuries.
