Governor NN Vohra today reviewed the progress on permanent restoration of assets damaged during the 2014 deluge, relief and rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants and internal security at a high-level meeting with the Chief Secretary, Director General of Police and the Home Secretary.
After his meeting with the Secretaries at the civil secretariat here today, the Governor held separate review meetings with Chief Secretary BR Sharma and later with DGP K Rajendra and Home Secretary RK Goyal.
Vohra asked the Chief Secretary, who briefed the Governor about important matters pending since late December 2015, to review, department wise, and ensure urgent disposal of pending cases.
With the Chief Secretary, the Governor reviewed the status of implementation of works for the permanent restoration of assets damaged during the September 2014 floods and measures underway for providing relief and rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants, said a Raj Bhawan spokesperson.
He asked the Chief Secretary to especially review pendency of cases under SRO-43, implementation of Centrally sponsored schemes and matters pending decision in the Power Development Department.
In February last year, the Governor had described the delay in compassionate appointment cases under SRO 43 as “inexcusable”.
Later, during his meeting with DGP K Rajendra and Home Secretary RK Goyal, the Governor was briefed about the internal security situation in the state. The Governor asked the DGP to closely monitor the ground situation and ensure effective policing in all parts of the state.
He was informed about pending enhancement in the rate of rental compensation for land under occupation of the Army, increase in the honorarium of the Special Police Officers and cases pending under SRO-43 in case of police personnel killed while fighting militants, said the spokesperson.
Goyal apprised the Governor of the present status of implementation of the decisions taken in the Civil Military Liaison Conference, particularly about the vacation of lands by the Army and establishment of new firing ranges.
The Governor asked the Home Secretary and the DGP to closely monitor the security situation in the state, particularly keeping in view the Pathankot airbase attack.
