He said several measures are being conceived by Government to further the cause of such victims and relac rules in getting the relief quickly and in an easy way.
He said it is in continuation of these efforts that Government has recently relaxed rules for Police Personnel under SRO 250. This SRO , he said gives relaxation in qualification and age, which will help almost all cases related to police personnel seeking employment .
Bhat said , Government has been envisaging similar relief to persons disabled in urest through pellets or firing , which is a good step.
Bhat said while it is painful to have such victims , it is an imperative that they get full attention and support. He prayed for peace and stability so that society is saved from such tragedies and any such dependence on Government did not arise. “ till that ideal situation arises , it is obligatory for Government to show concern and extend support. “ he added.
Bhat made an appeal to Government to rationalize further the cases under all SRO categories and show an equal regard and concern for needy and distressed lot without regard for source of distress or tragedy.
Bhat was interacting with kins of victims of violence and fate . He told them that Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has been herselg concerned and she has recently directed General Administration Department to sort out for support all SRO cases. She has also took up the plight of such families with Union Government seeking assistance under welfare schemes from the centre.
Bhat said such cases reflect on the moral duties on society and in the state of Jammu and Kashmir cases in distress have piled over the years compounding miseries of thousands of families. While society and Government play their role in extending help , extra effort is needed to minimize the pain of orphans , widows , disabled and distressed lot. He hoped that with Government aware of this , things should improve for society to look conscious and vibrant and Government to look responsible.
