Sarbananda Sonowal lays foundation stone for Kashmiri Migrants transit camp
Baramulla/IBNS: Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Friday laid the foundation stone for the transit camp that would be constructed for the rehabilitation of displaced Kashmiri Pandits at Khawaja Bagh, Baramulla.
Reiterating that Kashmiri Pandits were the part and parcel of Kashmir’s composite culture, Sonowal said that the Centre was firm to rehabilitate the Kashmiri Pandits so that they would live in their homeland with peace and harmony.
“The transit camp at Baramulla is one of the key initiatives in this direction,” he said.
The transit camp at Baramulla, constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 40 crore with a cost of Rs 12 lakh on each flat, would accommodate 336 Kashmiri Pandit families.
The Baramulla district administration had earlier identified more than 45 Kanal land within the municipal limits of Baramulla town at KhawajaBaghBaramulla.
Sonowal said, “People of Kashmir want Kashmiri Pandits to return to their homeland so that both the communities live in peace and harmony. The initiative of rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants will strengthen their belief.”
Accompanied by top functionaries, the union minister was on a two-day visit to the Baramulla district as part of the Centre’s public outreach programme aimed at receiving feedback from the different stakeholders besides listening to their developmental aspirations.
