Omar promises 'Diwali gift' to Kashmiri Pandit youth
Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today assured the Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj that the list of 150 candidates selected under the Prime Minister's employment package for the community would be finalised by November 15.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in April 2008 had announced a special employment package of 3,000 jobs for migrant Kashmiri Pandits as an incentive to return to the Valley.
"We called on the Chief Minister to put forth our concerns about the employment package announced by the Prime Minister for migrant pandits. He assured us that he would give us a Diwali gift by November 15 by issuing the first list of selected candidates," President of YAIKS R K Bhat said.
