Threatening to intensify agitation from August 15, Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) refugees living in different parts of the Jammu region today lodged protest seeking "full and final settlement" of their demands.
They demonstrated outside the Divisional Commissioner's office here and asked the government to address their demands at the earliest.
"We will intensify the agitation from August 15, if the government fails to fulfil our demands. We want full and final rehabilitation and settlement package for refugees," President of PoK Refugee Displaced Persons Front Yudhvir Singh said.
The refugees are demanding one-time settle-cum- rehabilitation package from the Centre and state governments on the pattern of displaced Kashmiri Pandits.
They have also demanded reservation to their children in education and employment.
