Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minster Mehbooba Mufti said that there would be no separate colony for non-state subject ex-servicemen, and that transit accommodations would be constructed for Kashmiri Pandits and other migrants, until they return to their native places in the State Assembly on 28 May.
Mufti said that the migrants could only be sent back to their native places once the situation was conducive, adding:
If the political workers who have shifted from villages to Srinagar city are not ready to go back to their native places, how can you expect Kashmiri Pandits to go back to their native place at this point of time?
