More than 30,000 Kashmiri Pandits have applied for the 2,000 re-allocated government jobs under the prime minister's employment package and the selection process would be completed by the end of April, Jammu Kashmir Service Selection Board officials said on Saturday. The prime minister's package for Kashmiri Pandit migrants was announced in 2008 and has two major components , first one pertaining to the provision of 6,000 jobs for youth and the second one pertaining to the provision of 6,000 accommodation units for the recruited employees. 

"As regards to the jobs, out of 6,000 posts, 3,841 candidates have already been selected and appointed in various departments. The remaining 2,000-odd posts have been referred to J&K Service Selection Board (JKSSB),'' said a relief and rehabilitation department spokesperson. He added, ''The JKSSB has already received more than 30,000 applications for these posts and the selection process shall be completed by the end of April. This will ensure completion of the PM package component related to jobs". 

Only few posts were unfilled due to matters subject to sub-judice. About the accommodation unit construction, the spokesperson said significant progress has been achieved in the last few months. "Till their safe and honourable return to their homes in the Valley, every effort is needed to be made to mitigate the sufferings of the migrants," Rana said during his visit to the Jagti township and interaction with those protesting on Friday.
