After the launch of a portal, thousands of applications have been filed by Kashmiri Pandits
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has stepped up action to redress the grievances raised by migrant Pandits regarding their properties in the Kashmir valley.
In the first three weeks of the launch of a designated portal for a time-bound redressal of grievances related to Kashmir migrants’ immovable properties by the Lieutenant Governor’s administration, thousands of applications have been moved by Pandits living outside Kashmir.
An official spokesman said at least 660 complaints were addressed in Srinagar. “Of the 660 grievances, 390 alleging alienation by fraud or distress sale were resolved. Around 129 grievances alleging encroachments on migrant properties were also verified and resolved,” Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar, Mohammad Aijaz Asad said.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
