Pandits, Other staff sit-in outside J&K Government house for relocation, salaries

On protest for over eight months following targeted killings by terrorists, hundreds of Kashmiri migrant PM package employees and reserved category employees staged a separate sit-in here on Monday, reiterating their demand for relocation outside the Valley. They also demanded immediate release of their pending salaries in view of the 'Maha Shivratri' festival being observed later this week. Scores of PM package Kashmiri migrant Pandit employees and Jammu-based reserved category employees shifted to Jammu in May last year following the killing of their colleagues, Rahul Bhat and Rajini Bala, by terrorists in the valley.
