KASHMIR-CCS 2 LAST

Chidambaram said Indian Government will grant ex-gratia
of Rs five lakh to the family of each of those killed in civil
disturbances in Kashmir since June 11.
The all-party team had met many delegations in Kashmir
Valley who had laid a special stress on reducing the presence
of security forces at least in Srinagar and other major towns.
Sources said if the state Government decides to
withdraw the disturbed area act from some areas, the AFSPA
will have to go automatically.
On the issue of releasing people detained during the
unrest, Chidambaram made it clear that there were only 245
people arrested or detained by the state government out of
whom 84 were in judicial custody, 110 in police custody and 51
detained under the PSA.
With education taking a hit during the three-and-a-half
month unrest, the Centre requested the state government to
take steps to immediately reopen all schools, colleges and
universities.
Special classes should be also conducted and efforts
should be made to ensure examinations are conducted on
schedule for the current academic year, the Home Minister
said.
Chidamabram said a Rs 100 crore additional central
assistance would be made available to the state government for
improving infrastructure in educational institutions. PTI SKL
