A group of 64 Hindus arrived from Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir to Nodhal Dhar area of Chamba district in Himachal Pradesh here last night after travelling on foot and fearing threats of liquidation from militants in that area.
The group comprising 30 children, 14 women and 20 men covered the long journey in 72 hours with death haunting them from their native village of Sawara of Gandoh Tehsil of Jammu and Kashmir.
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>The group also included four employees of the Jammu and Kashmir Government - Dinesh Singh, Jitendra Singh, Naresh Kumar and Suresh Kumar. Talking to The Pioneer, they said the militants had kept them in custody in their respective houses. However, they all managed to escape from the militants. They alleged that the situation in Doda district, which is also the home district of J&K Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, had worsened as no one was safe there.
One of the women, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the situation had worsened after the Congress had come to power in the State. She said that they had not perceived any threat to children and women during the regime of the National Conference. </span>
Most of the captives heaved a sigh of relief on reaching Nodhal Dhar and presented themselves before officials of India Reserve Battalion belonging to the Himachal police. <b>All the migrants have been brought to Tarela base camp from Nodhal Dhar and were being sheltered by the Chamba district authorities</b>.
Sub divisional magistrate of Tissa RK Saha reached Tarela village along with station house officer of Tissa Mehar Chand and other police and civil officials to provide food and shelter to the migrants last night. He assured them each and every facility. Assistant superintendent of police Sunil Kumar, who also reached the base camp at Tarela, was trying to locate suitable accommodation for the migrants.
SHO Mehar Chand said that the migrants were in a terrified state and were reluctant to return to their native villages without proper security.
Mohan Lal, a local BJP leader from Chamba, accused the Central and State Governments for the deteriorating law and order situation in the State. He demanded adequate security for the innocent people. He said that earlier too, 750 Hindus from Doda had reached Chamba and that time too, the Government had assured them adequate security. However, no such security was provided.
The State authorities are baffled with the reports that another groups of people numbering around 136 from the nearby villages of Sawara from where the first batch had arrived last night were expected in the Nodhal Dhara area any time.
These people had also left their respective villages along with their children but they preferred to take rest, according to Suresh Kumar, who had reached the Nodhal Dhar area in the first batch. He told The Pioneer that he too was perturbed over the fate of the persons on their way to Nodhal Dhar area from their respective villages. He was praying for the safety of others, as according to him, militants might follow them.
<b>Kumar said that the situation in their areas was alarming and that was why they were forced to leave their homes and to reach the high hills of Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh.</b>
Meanwhile, the <b>HP Government has taken a serious note of the situation and had directed the Chamba district authorities to provide all sorts of medicines, foodgrains and other articles to the migrants. </b>
There are reports that Chief Minister Vir Bhadra Singh had talked to the Chamba authorities in this respect today and enquired about the details of the migrants and their further course of action.Â
