Ajay Kumar

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

In the state of Jammu and Kashmir Pakistan occupied Kashmir (Pok) refugees migrated from PoK are living in sub-human conditions in 34 camps in Jammu province for last 64 years. Moreover these displaced refugees lack official status because PoK is not a foreign soil and are yet to be settled and have been deprived of all the benefits given to refugees according to national and international law. The study analyses the impact of internal displacement on these refugees. It has also tried to highlight their different issues, problems and sets of demands. It also studies the role of Government in their rehabilitation. PoK refugees are scattered in 34 camps in Jammu province. Therefore the stratified random sampling method is used. Interview schedule is used to collect data. Data includes both primary and secondary sources.
