Only 3 of 6.5k Kashmiri migrant families have permanently returned to Valley: Parliamentary panel

A parliamentary panel has revealed a stark reality: only a meager 3 out of 6,500 Kashmiri migrant families have permanently resettled in the Kashmir Valley. This finding highlights the significant challenges and lack of confidence that continue to deter the return of the displaced community.

The panel has formally requested the government to undertake a thorough assessment of the obstacles preventing these families from returning home. The assessment is intended to identify and address critical concerns related to security, adequate housing, and other essential factors that are currently holding them back from permanently relocating to the valley.

This low return rate underscores the ongoing difficulties faced by Kashmiri migrants and the need for more effective government intervention to facilitate their safe and sustainable return to their native region.
