Contrary to the claims of puppet authorities of making all round development, every fifth citizen of the Indian occupied Kashmir is falling under Below Poverty Line (BPL).
The Economic Survey Report 2011-2012 revealed that 21.63 percent population of the occupied territory is falling under BPL category, which includes 26.14 percent rural population and 7.96 percent urban. "A total of 24.21 lac people are living under BPL," it said, Kashmir Media Service reported.
The report pointed out that there was a meagre difference in BPL population ratio if the BPL population of two regions Kashmir and Jammu was compared.
"The total BPL estimated population ratio in Kashmir has been worked out as 21.37 percent (12.91 lac persons) while Jammu division recorded 21.67 percent BPL population (10.59 Lac persons).
The Ladakh region has shown estimated BPL population as highest and stood at 27.03 percent (0.71 lac persons)," the report said.
