 Srinagar, May 24 [KNS]: Congress leader and party’s incharge Tribal Affairs,  Kadfeen Choudhary on Wednesday underscored the need for the overall welfare of Jammu and Kashmir’s tribal community, stating that the neglect of tribal communities in Jammu and Kashmir should be seen as a human rights issue, and it is the responsibility of the government to address it promptly and comprehensively.

 
In a statement,  Kadfeen said that the tribal communities in Jammu and Kashmir have long been neglected, and it is high time that the government takes proactive steps to address their concerns and fulfill their basic needs. These communities, living in remote areas and often facing isolation, require immediate attention to ensure their well-being and development.

Providing them with proper educational facilities, trained teachers, and resources will empower them to build a better future for themselves and break the cycle of poverty and marginalization. Additionally, better healthcare facilities must be established in tribal areas, ensuring access to essential medical services and facilities. Timely and affordable healthcare is crucial for their overall well-being and to combat the prevalent health challenges they face,” Kadfeen said.
