What matters the most is the fact that the migration of tribal families won’t disrupt normal traffic on Jammu-Srinagar highway and Mugal road from now onwards the way it was disrupting it in yesteryears
The Tribal Affairs Department of the Jammu & Kashmir Government is now really working for the purposes of the tribal community for which it has been as it not only take care of their accessibility to basic amenities of life but it also takes measures to ease their travel to plains in early summer and their return to native places in early autumn. Knowing that with the onset of autumn season the tribal families start their return journeys to reach their homes as early as possible the tribal affairs department has for the first time in collaboration with the J&K Road Transport Corporation unveiled a plan for extending them the transport facilities they need for migrating from plans of Kashmir to their homes in the hilly areas of Jammu division by or before the autumn season ends. The schedule unveiled by the Tribal Affairs Department for the traveling facilities of Tribal families shows that their migration will start from almost mid September and end towards the end of November this year. The travelling schedule unveiled by the Tribal Affairs Department for the migration of the tribal families shows it’s intention to ensure their return to homes in the hilly areas of Jammu division before the commencement of the chilly season of winter this year. What matters the most is the fact that the migration of tribal families won’t disrupt normal traffic on Jammu-Srinagar highway and Mugal road from now onwards the way it was disrupting it in yesteryears as the flocks of sheep they carry with themselves while traveling on foot at the time of migration would now also be taken to their homes in the trucks Jammu & Kashmir Road Transport Corporation will provide them.
“Government reaching out to tribal families with the transport facilities for their migration to their native places in the hills of Jammu division without receiving calls for reaching out to them by leaders of political parties shows a marked shift in the approach of the Government towards the tribal communities for the first time in Jammu & Kashmir”.
Arrangements for the travelling facilities to the tribal families for their migration show the increasing concerns of the Government for their welfare. Government reaching out to tribal families with the transport facilities for their migration to their native places in the hills of Jammu division without receiving calls for reaching out to them by leaders of political parties shows a marked shift in the approach of the Government towards the tribal communities for the first time in Jammu & Kashmir. Had the popular governments of erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir state taken care of the pressing issues of the tribal community the way incumbent Government under the leadership of Lt Governor Manoj Sinha takes care of their basic human needs and educational empowerment, the welfare of the tribal community won’t have come into question the way questions are being raised regard their welfare from 2019 onwards.
