PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Srinagar, Oct 19: Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah today assured the Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj that the list of 150 candidates selected under the PM’s employment package for the community would be finalised by November 15. “We called on the CM to put forth our concerns about the employment package announced by the PM. He assured us that he would give us a Diwali gift by November 15 by issuing the first list of selected candidates,” YAIKS President, R K Bhat said.
 Bhat said Omar also assured that remaining vacancies would be quickly filled up after the Durbar move to winter capital Jammu early next month.  “Omar has also assured us that he will ensure that those Kashmiri Pandit youth, who have crossed the upper age limit for recruitment in government service, will be granted one-time compensation,” he said.  The YAIKS had demanded Rs 25 lakh as compensation for each over-aged youth, but the Chief Minister was non-committal about the amount, he said.
