Description
A Parliamentary panel on Kashmiri migrants has come down heavily on Union Home Ministry accusing it of neglecting various issues pertaining to the community especially in health sector as many people were suffering from cancer, kidney ailments and other diseases that needed immediate treatment. According to official data, as many as 59,442 Kashmiri Pandit families have been registered as migrants with 38,119 registered in Jammu, 19,338 in Delhi and 1,985 in the rest of the country. In its report, the Committee said it was "extremely dissatisfied" by the logic given by the ministry for limiting enhancement of cash relief to the migrants. "The Committee is extremely dissatisfied by the logic given by the Ministry for limiting enhancement of the relief by Rs 400 per soul" despite claim made by the Government that the thrust of providing cash relief was to minimise hardships of migrant families.
