Employees recruited under the Prime Minister’s Rehabilitation package for Kashmiri Pandits have appealed to J&K Chief Secretary Atul Dulloo for enhanced security after a threat poster revealed personal addresses and vehicle numbers.

  • The threat poster listed names, house numbers, street names and vehicle details of staff.
  • Immediate security measures are demanded for all affected employees.
  • The government is urged to launch a rapid verification and protection drive.

In a formal letter addressed to Chief Secretary Atul Dulloo, a coalition of Kashmiri Pandit employees under the Prime Minister’s Rehabilitation package highlighted growing insecurity after a new threat poster surfaced on social media. The poster, allegedly issued by a terrorist outfit calling itself the "United Liberation Council" (ULC), contains personal identifiers such as names, house numbers, street names and vehicle registration numbers of several staff members.

This marks the first time in decades that a threat communication has disclosed such granular personal data about migrant employees. The letter states that the disclosure has created a "deep sense of fear and insecurity" among the staff and their families.

The signatories, representing the All PM Package Employees Forum, have asked security agencies to verify the authenticity of the poster without delay and to provide immediate protection to anyone whose details appear in the threat. They note that the matter has already been referred to the police and relevant security agencies, though no official confirmation of the poster’s origin has yet been made.

Similar intimidation attempts have been reported over the past two weeks, with earlier messages warning Kashmiri Pandit workers in the Valley to "change their ways." These repeated threats have eroded confidence in local law‑and‑order mechanisms and intensified calls for a comprehensive security review.

The employees also demand that the government issue specific security guidelines and deploy guards for those whose personal information has been exposed. Such steps are presented as essential not only for personal safety but also for restoring morale among the staff employed under the rehabilitation scheme.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the misuse of personal data in terror threats can amplify communal tensions and undermine the credibility of nationwide rehabilitation initiatives.

"The revelation of personal details in a threat is a new escalation that demands swift protective action," says security analyst Dr. Arjun Mehta.
