Targetted killings of minorities and non-locals spark migrant flight from J&K

-PTI/ The Hindu

Selective killings have triggered a fear psychosis among the workers

Thousands of migrant workers fleeing Kashmir along with their families queued up outside ticket counters of railway stations and bus stops in Jammu on Tuesday as targeted killing of minorities and non-locals by terrorists triggered an exodus from the Valley.

The security in and around the railway stations and bus stands in Jammu and Udhampur has been beefed up as a precautionary measure as people have been arriving in large numbers, desperate to leave ahead of schedule, and more are on the way, officials said.

Outside the railway station in Jammu, men, women and children were seen waiting on the roadside in long queues without basic facilities of water or shelter.

As per rough estimates, three to four lakh migrant labourers, most of them Hindus, from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand come to the Valley every year in early March for skilled and unskilled jobs such as masonry, carpentry, welding and farming, and go back home before the onset of winter in November.
