New Delhi:
The recommendations made in the first report of the interlocutors
for Jammu and Kashmir have been examined by the government and
action initiated on these, an official said Tuesday.
A home ministry spokesman said some recommendations have been sent
to the state government for necessary action and some other
recommendations are being implemented by the central government.
He said the report made a number of recommendations, including
expediting cases of undertrials, permitting peaceful protests,
releasing militants/protesters against whom there were no serious
charges, training of security forces, identifying jobs for young
men and women in central/state government offices, and announcing
scholarships for Kashmiri students.
The report also suggested enhancing monetary assistance to widows
and orphans, enhanced efforts to trace missing people, promoting
investments in Kashmir, giving special status to Paharis,
representation to Gujjars and Bakerwals in political institutions
and bureaucracy, and increasing monthly allowances to Kashmiri
Pandits.
The report submitted to the government by the interlocutors -
Dileep Padgaonkar, M.M. Ansari and Radha Kumar - was based on
their visit to the state Oct 23-28.
The group visited the state again Nov 9-14 and the recommendations
made in the report were under active consideration of the
governmen, the spokesman said.
During their visits, the interlocutors visited Baramulla, Uri,
Anantnag, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Leh and Kargil districts and met
political and community leaders, minority representatives,
including several groups of Kashmiri Pandits as well as refugees
from Pakistani Kashmir.
The group visited Kashmiri Pandit camps at Muthi to ascertain
their views about the Kashmir issue. They also visited detenus in
the central jail in Srinagar and met leaders of student protests
for similar interaction.
The government set up the three-member panel in October to hold
sustained dialogue with a wide range of representatives of
political and public opinion to draw up a road map for a permanent
settlement of the political problem in the state.
