Ministry of Home Affairs             03-May, 2016 15:31 IST

The State Government of Jammu and Kashmir has been requested for identifying suitable land in the Kashmir Valley, where the Kashmiri migrants could be suitably rehabilitated. Further, action would be taken once the land is identified.

There are about 62,000 registered Kashmiri migrant families in the country, who migrated from the Kashmir valley due to the onset of militancy/terrorism in the State of Jammu and Kashmir in the early 1990s. About 40,000 registered Kashmiri migrant families are living in Jammu, about 20,000 in Delhi/NCR and about 2000 families are settled in other parts of the country.

The Government of India, on 18th November 2015, has approved a rehabilitation package involving an estimated expenditure of Rs. 2000 Crore for providing additional 3000 State Government jobs to the Kashmiri migrants and construction of 6000 transit accommodations in the Kashmir valley for the Kashmiri migrants to whom state Government jobs have been provided/will be provided. The State Government of Jammu and Kashmir has been requested to take necessary action for the implementation of the package at the earliest.
