'Kashmir not safe for us': Kashmiri Pandit government employees' evacuation SOS
India Today
Government employees from the Kashmiri Pandit community have written to J&K LG Manoj Sinha asking him to evacuate them from the Kashmir Valley as they do not feel safe.
Days after Rahul Bhat, a Kashmiri Pandit, was gunned down by terrorists at a government office in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir, government employees from the Kashmiri Pandit community have made a desperate appeal for evacuation from the Kashmir Valley.
In a letter to Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha dated May 14, the All PM Package Employees Forum wrote, "We, the PM Package Employees and Non-PM Package Employees request your good self to please evacuate us safely from Kashmir province and save us. Sir, in case your good self is not able to anything, we are ready to give en masse resignation... Kashmir is not safe for us."
The All PM Package Employees Forum is a body of Kashmiri Pandit employees.
Further, in the letter, they wrote they are willing to serve anywhere in the world but not in Kashmir. "We are not able to live here... We are being killed here on daily basis," the letter said.
Terrorists fired at Rahul Bhat, an employee of the revenue department, in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday afternoon. The victim, a Kashmiri Pandit, sustained serious injuries and was rushed to a hospital in Srinagar, where he died a little while later.
The incident took place at the Tehsildar office in Chadoora in central Kashmir.
Terror group 'Kashmir Tigers' claimed responsibility for the attack.
