SDP demands increase in monthly relief for displaced KPs

Socialistic Democratic Party today demanded increase in the monthly relief per family for displaced Kashmiri Pandits keeping in view the high rate of inflation.

"The monthly relief for the displaced KPs per family should be increased keeping in view the uncontrolled price hike," SDP president Darakhshan Andrabi told reporters here.

She said financial relief and temporary accommodation could not compensate for permanent rehabilitation of members of the community.

"Financial relief and temporary arrangements of providing flats to these community members has nothing to do with their permanent settlement and government cannot in any case project this all as a substitute for the permanent settlement of this community," she said.
 

The SDP president also demanded the filling up of allotted quota of recruitment in government sector in Kashmir Valley from this community.
