The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) informed the Rajya Sabha on July 27 that no Kashmiri Pandit left the Valley in 2022.
After a spate of targeted killings of the members of the minority community in April and May this year, many Pandits had moved to Jammu fearing for their safety.
On May 17, Kashmir’s Divisional Commissioner and its Inspector General of Police (IGP) visited several transit camps of Kashmiri Pandits in Srinagar, Kulgam and Anantnag and advised the fear-struck community against migration from the Valley, in the wake of the killing of the Pandit employee, Rahul Bhat, on May 12.
