To restore normalcy and peace in Jammu and Kashmir, Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday announced fresh measures to be taken by the state government. He also said that the state must set up a high-level committee headed by an officer in the rank of Director General of Police or Additional Director General to review all stone-pelting cases against students. He has also advised the Mehbooba Mufti-led state government to formulate a new surrender and rehabilitation policy, an official said.
Singh said that Centre has given its approval to the state to use an amnesty scheme to give relief to 3,685 students and youth who were allegedly involved in stone pelting. He said this step is aimed at giving students and youth another chance to rebuild their lives and careers.
He said that a surrender and rehabilitation policy should be made to provide the youth with economic rehabilitation and suitable training to enable them to return to mainstream.
