Land for Pandit families identified in Kashmir Valley

New Delhi: At least three sites have been identified by the Jammu and Kashmir government for setting up colonies for displaced Kashmiri Pandits and it has been conveyed to the Union Home Ministry for assessment.

Official sources said most of the land is being held by private owners and the state government has approached them for outright sale of the land where it plans to construct dwelling units to rehabilitate them.
One of the identified lands is in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district. It is spread over more than 200 kanals at Kanispora Johema on the outskirts of Baramulla and is close to the national highway and railway station.

Two other pieces of land have also been scouted for in central and south Kashmir but are yet to be finalised.

Union Home Ministry officials have advised the Jammu and Kashmir government to finalise the land as early as possible so that construction works of colonies for Kashmiri Pandits could be started.

In September 2014, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had written a letter to the then Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for allocation of “suitable” land for creating dwelling units for displaced Kashmiri Pandit families under the government’s plan to implement rehabilitation scheme for the migrants.

Singh had suggested that the land may be identified near the places from where they migrated and also advised that this should be done in such a manner that there was adequate security in and around the area.

There are about 62,000 registered Kashmiri Pandit families in the country, who migrated from the Valley due to the onset of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir in the early 1990s.
