Srinagar, 09 May, (KNS): Jammu & Kashmir Pradesh Congress committee (JKPCC) on Saturday disclosed that the state governments of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and the Pradesh Congress Committee of Goa have arranged special trains to send the stranded labourers to the respective states including J&K, in a couple of days, as such the UT administration should expedite the process for grant of permission to the stranded labourers, so that they can travel through those trains.

According to statement issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS), JKPCC Chief G A Mir said that party had sought details of labourers intending to different states and now again writing for necessary permission along with the forwarding the details of large number of applicants, who have approached our party's control rooms at district and provincial levels.

He said the JKPCC has been seeking yearly clearance of the requests for permissions to intending labourers and they can travel back in those trains, if the JK UT administration coordinates in the matter.

He said that JKPCC shall soon forward the requests to the Govt of J&K to grant permission to the large number of requests received by the congress Party too, by the labourers. Simultaneously, a large number of other stranded people within Jammu and Kashmir, wanting to return to their native districts are not getting any response on their requests for days together. The govt should look into all such cases expeditiously and without any delay.
