''700 applications received from militants to return home''
Srinagar, May 9 (PTI) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said the government has received nearly 700 applications from local militants in Pakistan occupied Kashmir who want to renounce violence and join the mainstream.
"The response to the rehabilitation policy (for militants in ) has been better than expected. We have received 600 to 700 applications," Omar told reporters here.
Out of the total applications received, 125 have been cleared by authorities for the militants to return to the state, he said.
"The information will be passed to their (militants'') families now on how they can come back," Omar said.
The Centre had last year approved the rehabilitation policy formed by the Omar-led government for return of the youth who had gone for arms training to but wanted to renounce violence and return home.
An estimated 1,300 youths from various parts of the state are in and most of them have expressed their desire to return. Cheers!!
