A parliamentary panel has reported that only three of 6,510 Kashmiri migrant families who initially expressed willingness to return have permanently resettled in the Valley. The department-related standing committee on home affairs tabled its 260th report in Parliament on Friday. The panel, led by Dr Radha Mohan Das Agrawal, recommended a comprehensive assessment of security, housing, livelihood, education and social concerns inhibiting return. It also suggested a structured survey of migrant families residing outside Jammu and Kashmir to review the rehabilitation package. The J&K administration informed the panel of its efforts for relief and rehabilitation.
