J-K govt announces relief for those displaced from border areas

The Jammu and Kashmir government on Saturday announced free ration and cash relief for villagers who have been forced to migrate due to the recent firing and shelling from across the border.

The migrants will get seven kilograms of atta, two kilograms of rice and Rs 100 as cash relief per head per month, divisional commissioner, Anil Goswami, who presided over a meeting of district officers of Jammu division on Friday evening, said.

In view of the build up at the border, Goswami asked the district administration to identify sites where drinking water was easily available, for setting up migrant camps.

Detailing the salient features of a contingency plan in the event of escalation of tension, he said 40 sites have been identified for setting up migrant camps where 8,188 families comprising about 48,000 people could be accommodated.
