Manjit Singh urges to make process to grant OBC certificate to Jatts easier
JAMMU: J&K Jatt Sabha, President, and Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh led deputation today called on Divisional Commissioner, Ramesh Kumar to discuss the Jatt community, Displaced Persons (DPs), and Refugees issues. As per a press release, the Former Minister accompanied by Senior Vice President, Ex- Minister, Choudhary Sukhnanda; Vice President MLA Vikram Randhawa, DDC & Vice President, Taranjit Singh Tony; Ex-Minister Choudhary Garu Ram, Ex-Corporator Dwarka Choudhary; District President Rural, Manjit Singh Jatt, Sarpanch Prem Palla, and others met the Div Com Jammu at his office chamber.
During the meeting, S. Manjit Singh informed that the Jatt community is facing problems in getting OBC certificates because of the harsh formalities that need to be made easier. âJatts are facing problems to get the OBC certificate and hence, the authorities should make necessary changes so that the process is made easier for the people to get the certificate,â he said.
He also informed that the long standing issue of proprietor / ownership rights to the Displaced Persons of 1965 and 1971 as well as Refugees should be given on the property they are holding or allotted to the DPs for decades. âThese lands/commercial places in many places have come under the highway construction, road construction or acquired by the defences or other Govt agencies. However, the compensation is not given to the holder / allottee of the land which is grass injustice,â he raised the issue with the Div Com, while highlighting the concerns of the Refugees/DPs.
He demanded that the compensation of acquiring the Custodian property / land or Govt land shall go to the allottee/ holder of the land. On giving them patient hearing, the Div Com assured that he would discuss the issues raised by J&K Jatt Sabha with him, and accordingly, steps will be taken to make improvement in the system for issuance of OBC certificate to Jatts, and other related issues.
