Revenue officials creating hurdles in distribution of compensation to IB farmers: Pummy | |
Jammu March 12 (Scoop News)- The farmers from Kathua to Jourian, having their agriculture land having fencing and beyond fencing on International Border (IB) are taking round of the offices of revenue officials to get compensation which has already been sanctioned in favour of individual farmers and amount too released but are put to unnecessary embarrassment, which is highly shameful. This was stated by Cooperative Cell State Convenor H.S. Pummy, while making a fervent appeal to personally intervene in the matter and pull up the officials of revenue department who are harassing the poor farmers on one pretext or the other. H.S. Pummy said that lakhs of poor farmers, whose only mean of survival is agriculture land, which lies near the IB and they cannot cultivate the same due to across the border shelling and firing. The Union government has done its work by sanctioning and releasing compensation for their agriculture land but state’s revenue officials are not distributing among the beneficiaries by making unnecessary queries and raising objections. The farmers are legal owners of the land and in possession of the same for more than 70 years but revenue officials are now trying to dislodge them of their claims, which is highly condemnable. H.S. Pummy expressed hope that the Governor Administration would come forward to help the farmers, who are not even listened by the revenue officials.
