London, Nov 12: Besides trying to attract more
domestic and international tourists, the Jammu and Kashmir
government is taking concrete measures to bring back the
displaced Kashmiri Pandits, Chief Minister Mufti
Mohammad Sayeed has said.
"In conjunction with the government of India, I am
taking some concrete measures to bring back the displaced
Kashmir Pandits, 200,000 of whom are living in different
camps," the Chief Minister told reporters after visiting the J&K pavilion at the World Travel Market here last evening.
He said most of the displaced Kashmiri Pandits currently living in camps in Jammu and Delhi were keen to return to the state provided they were guaranteed adequate protection.
"They are nostalgic about their homeland," he said and noted that the sufferings undergone by the Kashmiri Pandits and other Kashmiris were most unfortunate.
The state government had taken 60 children of Kashmiri Pandits born outside the state since 1989 on a conducted tour of the valley recently and the children really had a peep into the beauty and splendour of their homeland.
