Srinagar:<\/strong> Authorities have left hundreds of flood victims in lurch as the aggrieved are running from pillar to post to get rehabilitation package from Prime Minister\u2019s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) and Prime Minister\u2019s Development Package (PMDP).<\/em>
\nThe devastated floods hit most parts of Srinagar city in September 2014.<\/em>
\n\u201cMore than one year has passed and we are yet to receive rehabilitation package. Whatever we have received was provided by the then Omar-led government,\u201d a delegation of flood victims told KNS.<\/em>
\nThey added authorities have also ignored the plight of flood victims.<\/em>
\n\u201cEarlier, they (District administration) used to tell us that rehabilitation amounts would be transferred to our bank accounts shortly. Now, we are being kicked out from the offices. The officials tell us to go and ask Chief Minister about the status of their cases,\u201d said another group of flood victims from Sonwar.<\/em>
\nThe aggrieved victims accused government of \u2018criminal silence\u2019 over the matter, adding, \u201cThe Ministers are getting their monthly salaries, enjoying government cavalcades and official residences. Have we elected them to enjoy luxuries or to redress our grievances?\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cIt is because of anti-people behavoiur of ministers that now civil administration is not listening to the general public. Whenever, we try to call on concerned officials in their offices to apprise them about our plight and appeal for release of rehabilitation package, every time we are asked to come some other day as Sahab (Officer) is meeting,\u201d they rued.<\/em>
\nThe flood victims said that if it was possible for divisional administration to dispose of lakhs of cases of flood victims within a week during Governor\u2019s rule, \u201cWhy is it that during the present regime, the victims are even denied to know the status of their long pending cases and call on concerned officials.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cIt was now easier for the present elected government to dispose off the left out cases as most of the cases were disposed off by the divisional administration on the directions of Governor during Governor\u2019s rule in the state. What is this elected government doing?\u201d they questioned.<\/em>
\nThey said that the PDP, during election campaigning for last assembly polls were on forefront to plead the cases of flood victims. \u201cHave it forgotten its all promises and assurances it issued to us. Now, why is our plight being ignored,\u201d they said.<\/em>
\nSoon after receding of flood waters, the then Omar Abdullah-led government had released Rs 75,000 each in favour of those whose houses were completely damaged while owners of severely and partially damaged houses received Rs 12500 and Rs 3800 respectively. The process was also expedited by the civil administrations as the then Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had \u2018warned\u2019 deputy commissioners to release payments to flood victims without any delay or pack their bags.<\/em>
\nLater, the then Mufti-led government announced release of second installment for the rehabilitation offlood victims. This amount was to be disbursed from Prime Minister\u2019s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) and third installment from Prime Minister\u2019s Development Package (PMDP). However, large numbers of flood victims are yet to receive their due amount from PMNRF and PMDP till date. (KNS)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
