At Least 5,300 displaced Jammu And Kashmir Families Added To PM's Aid Scheme

The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday approved the inclusion of 5,300 displaced families of Pakistan-occupied areas of Jammu and Kashmir and now settled in Jammu and Kashmir, in the Prime Minister’s financial assistance scheme announced in 2015.

The approval will enable such families to become eligible to get one-time financial assistance of Rs 5.50 lakh under the existing “Prime Minister’s Development Package 2015 for Jammu and Kashmir” scheme, and in turn, be able to get some sustained income which the existing scheme is aimed at, said a Cabinet statement.
