Only 3 of 6.5k Kashmiri migrant families have permanently returned to Valley: Parliamentary panel

A parliamentary committee has revealed that only three out of the 6,510 Kashmiri migrant families who initially agreed to return to the region have actually permanently settled in the Valley. The Department Related Standing Committee on Home Affairs, in its 260th report, has called for a thorough examination of the various factors, including security, housing, livelihood, education, and social issues, that are discouraging these families from fully returning.

The committee, led by Dr Radha Mohan Das Agrawal, expressed concern over the lack of progress in facilitating a dignified and safe return for these displaced families.
