Jammu and Kashmir government speeds up action on property cases of migrant Pandits

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.
