Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir government
has formulated a comprehensive plan for renovation of Evacuee
Properties (EP), Revenue, Relief and Rehabilitation Minister

The houses, declared evacuee properties and being
occupied by cancer patients, physically challenged and below

by the Evacuee Department, Bhalla said.
