JK BJP leader Ashwani Chrungoo urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to enhance the monthly relief provided to Kashmiri migrants from Rs 13,000 to Rs 20,000. The price index has gone high a number of times over the last five years, and consequent price rise in almost all fields of public purchases has also touched new heights.
