SRINAGAR, MAY 12: Expressing anguish over the loss of life and property in the cross-border conflict in both Jammu as well as in Kashmir regions, J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Tariq Hameed Karra on Monday urged the Government to take immediate measures to ensure compensation and resettlement of all displaced people.
Karra strongly urged both the Government of India and the J&K Government to grant all the deceased persons the status of martyr.
In a statement, JKPCC President Tariq Hameed Karra expressed deep pain and anguish over the loss of life and property in the recent cross-border conflict, seeking immediate rehabilitation and compensation for injured persons and the families of those who lost their lives.
The JKPCC President also urged the Government to assess the losses caused to public property and infrastructure and ensure compensation and resettlement for the affected people. There have been reports of extreme losses in border areas in North Kashmir, especially Uri and Karnah, resulting in mass public evacuations and further hardship for border residents.
Rajouri and Poonch in the Jammu region have similarly suffered severe damage in terms of loss of life and property.
“I urge the Government to ensure rehabilitation and compensation of the affected people on a war footing, so that they are able to resume normal life activities,” the JKPCC President added. He expressed heartfelt condolences and sympathized with the families who lost their loved ones in the conflict, and also prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.
