Social welfare officer Ranjan Jotshi said 96 Kashmiri Pandit families were living in Mattan, Anantnag district, since 2010, but only eight stayed back in the government-built camp after targeted killings escalated in recent months. “Besides those in the camp, about 250 families were staying in rented accommodations.
All of them have migrated to Jammu,” he said. Kashmir recorded nine targeted killings since May 1 — three off-duty policemen and six civilians. Dalit teacher Rajni Bala, a bank branch manager from Rajasthan, and a migrant brick kiln worker have been killed sin ce May 31. The question on top of everyone’s mind is what are the odds that terrorists won’t target them in Srina- gar and other big towns, when they could murder government clerk Rahul Bhat and bank manager Vijay Kumar in their offices or teacher Rajni Bala outside her school?
“What about employees of other departments like social welfare, roads and building? These have not been issued any transfer order,” said Rakesh Pandita, who lives in Nuthusia, Handwara, in the border district of Kupwara. Pandita said there are only 20 Kashmiri Pandits left in his camp. “ There were 350 people in Nuthusia in Kupwara, including those who had rented houses in the area. No one wants to risk their lives. ” According to Jotshi, currently posted in the DC office of Anantnag, people have been more frustrated by official apathy. “We had a meeting with divisional commissioner Pandurang K Pole on May 7 in his Srinagar office. Instead of giving us a patient hearing, he asked his security to detain me. I was let off later. ”
Avtar Krishan, a teacher posted in Langate, Baramulla, said Kashmiri Pandit employees want the government to shift them out of Kashmir, not transfer them to district headquarters in the Valley. “I approached the school education director in April, before Rahul Bhat was killed in the tehsil office of Chadoora. I told him about my fears… that I feel threatened. He did not respond,” he alleged.
