LG Manoj Sinha inaugurates Special Governance Camp for WPR families in Jammu

In Jammu and Kashmir, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today said that the special Governance Camp for West Pakistani Refugee (WPRs) families aims to resolve grievances, verification of pending cases, awareness about various welfare & self-employment schemes and placement drive with a focus on eligible candidates from displaced families.

AIR Jammu Correspondent reports that the LG said, Article 370 & 35A had denied political rights and other benefits to WPR families and prevented their scope of progression and upward mobility.

The LG assured every possible support and assistance from the government to the youth of WPR families in their entrepreneurial and business ventures. He also said all the opportunities for skill development and sports will be provided to the youth.
