With border migrants demanding for plots at safer places, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said that their demands of reservation and allotment of plots would be taken up at the "right" forums.
The demands of reservation and allotment of plots put forth by the shelling affected people would be taken up at the right forums appropriately, Omar told border migrants in Bishnah belt, 40 kms from here.
Omar today flew to Jammu from Srinagar to meet the shelling affected families staying in camps established for them by the State Government and took stock of the facilities being provided to them.
The Chief Minister held meetings with Divisional and District officers at Jammu, Samba and Hiranagar to receive the brief on the situation that has arisen due to shelling from across the borders in various sectors in Jammu Division.
Border migrants have lambasted State and Central government for "fake promises" of granting their residental plots at safer place away from reach of Pakistani shelling.
Political parties like BJP, PDP and BSP have also batted strongly for residential plots for shelling affected people along International Border in Jammu, Kathua and Samba districts in the past.
