In a memorandum to the CM, the group stated that the newly allotted Kashmiri Migrant Market has not been able to get electricity connections till now. “We were also promised compensation for shifting of shops. Other markets have received compensation per shop. But we have not been given any relief in kind or in cash. We hope that you will personally look into the matter yourself...,” the memorandum stated.
