JK News Today Proposal to relocate villages on LoC
The Army is working on a proposal to relocate the villages ahead of the fence along the Line of Control in
Jammu and Kashmir as it is “necessary” to safeguard the lives of people, a top Army officer said here on Thursday.
“Yes, there is a lot of thought going into this. We already have blueprints in place, but it requires cooperation and synergy with the civil administration because various aspects are involved in such a move,” Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai,
General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Army’s strategic Srinagar-based Chinar Corps, told reporters.
He said while security is always a concern, “we cannot ignore the socio-economic factors that affect these people”.
“Therefore, a plan is evolving, and I am sure it will unfold in the near future because it is necessary,” he added.
Lt Gen Ghai said the safety of the people in those areas is a matter of concern and also the development in such areas is possibly constrained by the geographical locations.
“While there is a ceasefire understanding today, during times of cross-border shelling or firing, the safety of these people is also a concern. So, this is definitely an endeavour, and it is a work in progress. There is a plan being deliberated on,” he said
