Hindu refugees in Kashmir "mortgaging" their children so they can buy food

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

JAMMU: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Wednesday constituted a four-member committee to probe the alleged sale of children by Hindu migrants of Udhampur and asked it to submit its report on Thursday.

There are nearly 1,000 families from the four hill districts of Jammu region - Doda, Udhampur, Rajouri and Poonch - living here.

Several people fled from the hills of Udhampur district to towns like Reasi and Talwara to escape the wrath of the terrorists in 1998.

In that region, terrorists had savagely killed innocent Hindus living in remote areas with axes and stones and forced them to flee their homes.

Even after eight years, the government has not come to their rescue. In desperation, they are now "mortgaging" their children with rich families to buy food for themselves.

Mankota gave the names of some children who have been mortgaged, their age varying from 10 to 14 years.

He said at least 200 children had been "mortgaged".
