Jammu, Mar 06 (GNS): Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha inaugurated LG’s Special Governance Camp for Displaced Persons of PoJK, today at Sports Stadium, Bhour Camp.
The drive aimed to take the welfare schemes to every house and ensure coverage of all beneficiaries under Centrally Sponsored Schemes & UT Schemes will be held at Udhampur, Rajouri, Jammu, Poonch and Kathua.
“Displaced families of PoJK have suffered a lot. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji understood their sufferings and made arrangements for their financial support and settlement. We have organized this camp on the direction of Hon’ble Prime Minister to saturate social security schemes, handholding of youth so they pursue their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs and ensuring that they can avail all facilities like other citizens. Steps will be taken to regularize the colonies of displaced families,” said the Lt Governor.
The Lt Governor announced that the J&K Government will construct Smriti Bhawan in the memory of martyrs of PoJK. Every effort will be made to preserve and promote the culture & traditions of displaced families. Land has already been identified and soon the construction work will start, he added.
The Lt Governor also paid homage to the brave civilians who were martyred in the October 1947 militant attack by Pakistan. We remember their supreme sacrifices & understand pain & sufferings of displaced families. It is our responsibility to secure their rights and build an enabling environment to fulfill aspirations of young generation from the community, observed the Lt Governor.
“PoJK is an integral part of India. Commitment made in Parliament regarding PoJK will soon be fulfilled by the blessings of Mata Vaishno Devi and Baba Amarnath,” said the Lt Governor.
The Lt Governor said, the development of new J&K is incomplete without complete integration of PoJK Displaced Persons in the mainstream development. We are committed to ensuring the welfare and well-being of all so they can realize their true potential & contribute in nation building, he noted.

We had started outreach programmes in 2021 for families living outside UT so that no one is left behind in any welfare scheme & focusing on skilling, self employment, social assistance, scholarships, sports, financial inclusion to aid economic development & financial stability, the Lt Governor said.
The Hon’ble Prime Minister’s Mantra of “Vanchito ko Variyata” is guiding our developmental journey. In the last 30 months, we have ensured governance is inclusive, transparent, effective and accountable and provides equal benefit & equal opportunity to all, the Lt Governor observed.
On August 5, 2019, the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ended the decades-long injustice, and provided equal opportunities to Valmiki, Gorkha, Safai Karamcharis communities and displaced persons, noted the Lt Governor.
“Families from West Pakistan were facing discrimination for many decades. Several communities were denied voting rights and other rights of citizens as enshrined in the constitution. Many generations were treated as second-class citizens. After August 2019, they were given equal rights and equal opportunities are being provided to all, said the Lt Governor.
The Lt Governor expressed gratitude to the Hon’ble Home Minister for making 7 sub-schemes an Umbrella Scheme under “Relief and Rehabilitation of Migrants and Repatriates” and extending the welfare schemes till 2025-26, he added.

Raj Bhavan nearer than Delhi, Telangana Governor tells CS

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: A day after Telangana government approached the Supreme Court seeking direction to Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan to approve the pending bills, she told Chief Secretary A. Santhi Kumari that Raj Bhavan is nearer than Delhi.
The Governor also took potshots at the Chief Secretary for not making a courtesy call after taking charge as the top bureaucrat.
As the Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court was filed through the Chief Secretary, the Governor on Friday took to Twitter to train guns on the top official.
“Dear Telangana CS Rajbhavan is nearer than Delhi. Assuming office as CS you didn’t find time to visit Rahbhavan officially. No protocol!No courtesy even for courtesy call. Friendly official visits & interactions would have been more helpfull which you Don’t even intend,” reads a tweet from the official handle of Soundararajan.
Dear @TelanganaCS Rajbhavan is nearer than Delhi. Assuming office as CS you didn’t find time to visit Rahbhavan officially. No protocol!No courtesy even for courtesy call. Friendly official visits & interactions would have been more helpfull which you Don’t even intend.
— Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan (@DrTamilisaiGuv) March 3, 2023
“Again i remind you Rajbhavan is nearer than Delhi,” she added.
Santhi Kumari assumed office as Chief Secretary on January 11.
The Governor’s tweet came a day after Telangana government filed SLP in the Supreme Court through the Chief Secretary.
The government told the Supreme Court that the Governor didn’t give her assent to 10 bills. It pleaded with the apex court to direct the Governor to fulfill her constitutional obligation.

The SLP mentions that seven of these bills have been pending with Raj Bhavan since September while the other three were sent the Governor on February 13 after the budget session of the assembly ended.
The petition pleaded the Supreme Court to declare as illegal, irregular and unconstitutional the delay by the Governor.
“As per the mandate of the Constitution, the Governor has to necessarily clear the bills and any inaction to accord assent would lead to lawlessness,” the state government said in the SLP.
The state argued that if the Governor has any doubts on the bills, she can seek clarifications but she cannot sit on them. “If she raises any issues, we will clarify them. She cannot sit on them and the mandate of the Constitution in this regard is clearly in favour of the state,” the government contended.
This is the second time that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has knocked the court’s door against the Governor.
Last month, the government moved Telangana High Court seeking direction to the Governor to give her approval to the state Budget for 2023-24. The court, however, had suggested both sides sort out the issue amicably.
Counsels of both the state government and Raj Bhavan had agreed to a compromise formula. While the government agreed to begin the Budget session of the Legislature with the Governor’s speech and the latter came forward to approve the Budget.
In November, the Governor had dismissed the allegations by BRS that her office was sitting on some Bills forward by the state government for her assent. She stated that she is taking time for assessing and analysing the Bills before giving her consent.
Education minister P. Sabitha Indra Reddy had subsequently met the Governor to clarify her doubts on the Common Recruitment Board Bill.
