Calls for immediate Constitution of Tribal Advisory Group, compensation, employment measures
A significant Gujjar-Bakerwal Conference was held in Anantnag under the chairmanship of Choudhary Ajaz Ahmed Khan, former Minister in the Jammu and Kashmir Government.
The event witnessed participation from delegates representing Anantnag, Srinagar, Pulwama, and other adjoining areas.
The gathering collectively raised several urgent and long-standing issues concerning the Gujjar and Bakerwal tribal communities and demanded action from the government on a priority basis.
One of the foremost demands put forth at the conference was the immediate constitution of a Tribal Advisory Group within the Tribal Affairs Department, to be headed by the Minister of Tribal Affairs. The speakers emphasized that tribal welfare and development cannot be left solely to the discretion of MLAs, many of whom are not adequately familiar with the problems faced by nomadic and forest-dwelling communities. They argued that the tribal population needs dedicated representation through an institutional body to ensure effective policy planning and execution.
