New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah and senior Home Ministry officials team are making impressive plans for the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley. Highly placed sources in the Home Ministry said that Amit Shah has held several meetings with the Chief Officers of the Kashmiri Division of the Home Ministry during the last month in this regard.
Home Minister Amit Shah wants to rehabilitate Kashmiri Pandits while dealing with external and internal terrorism with an active strategy in Jammu and Kashmir. The number of Kashmiri Pandits who have fled the Valley after pre-planned violent attacks by militant groups in Kashmir since 1989 is about three lakh. Sources said the Centre is considering to develop a safe residential area for Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley.
According to sources, the scheme will be more effective than the earlier proposal given by the Jammu and Kashmir government in 2015. Apart from the rehabilitation scheme, Home Minister Amit Shah is also focusing on welfare schemes, particularly welfare schemes for widows living in terror-hit states, victims of terror, disabled and senior citizens. J&K Governor Satyapal Malik indicated on Friday that the government is going to formulate an effective policy to rehabilitate Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley.
