🇺🇳UN team visits Rohingya camp in Jammu amid row over water, power supply.

A two-member team of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) visited one of their camps on the outskirts of Jammu.

Rohingyas claimed their power and water supply had been snapped despite the immigrants being registered with UNHCR.

J&K jal shakti minister Javed Ahmed Rana subsequently announced that the water supply to the slums housing the immigrants would not be snapped.

This prompted BJP to allege a “political conspiracy” behind settling illegal Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants in Jammu. The party demanded a CBI probe to identify those involved in bringing and lodging them in the city.

Earlier, Farooq Abdullah said, it's our duty to provide free electricity and water to Rohingyas.
