SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday announced that the paperwork for providing land to landless families affected by floods has been completed, assuring that the entire relief and rehabilitation process will be conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
Responding to queries about the government’s rehabilitation measures for flood-hit families, the Chief Minister said there was no need for a new policy, as the existing frameworks already address the requirements.
“As far as landless people are concerned, the paperwork has been completed, and they will be provided land under the PMAY pattern,” Omar said.
He further informed that a central team, including the Union Agriculture Minister, had visited the region to assess the damages and found that Jammu suffered losses comparable to those in Kashmir during the 2014 floods.
“The government has written to the Centre regarding the relief package, and once it is received, the aid will be distributed without any discrimination,” the Chief Minister added.
