PRESS RELEASE
 
Special Kuwait Cell (SKC) Untraced Claimants
United Nations Compensation Commission, Geneva, (UNCC) had approved payment of compensation to the eligible claimants who were victims of the Gulf War 1990-91.  The applicants whose claims were found successful by the UNCC were individually intimated by the Special Kuwait Cell,   Ministry of External Affairs (MEA, SKC), New Delhi,  as well as by the four designated Banks through communication sent from time to time.  However a number of successful claimants did not contact MEA (SKC) or the designated Bank for completing the stipulated formalities for disbursement of the approved claim amounts to them and consequently the amounts had been returned to UNCC.
A list of such claimants, as supplied by UNCC, containing 8,615 names has been put on  the Ministry of External Affairs’ website – http://www.meaindia.nic.in.  Persons whose name and passport number appear in this list may write to Shri A.K. PANDYA, Director, Special Kuwait Cell, Ministry of External Affairs, Iind   Floor, ISIL Building, 9 Bhagwandas Road, New Delhi-110001, mentioning their present address and enclosing photocopy of the first four pages of their passport.  The envelope and the letter should bear the notation “UNTRACED CLAIMANTS”.  On proper identification, the detailed prescribed formalities will be communicated to them and on completion thereof, the disbursement of their approved claims will be processed.
It is to clarify that mere appearance of the name of the claimant hereunder will not entitle them for the claim amount, which will be payable only on receipt of funds from UNCC.  There is no liability on the Government of India or the four designated Banks for payment of the claim amounts as the Banks through the Government of India are only disbursing agencies.   Full care has been taken in mentioning correct names and passport numbers of the successful claimants, yet there is no liability for any error that might have inadvertently crept in.  It is to further clarify that there is no fresh award or sanction, and there is no call for fresh claims.  The list is only of untraced amongst earlier successful claimants.
At present the deadline for locating and paying these claimants, as decided by UNCC, is September 2006.

"Konkani is a popular spoken language has a particular merit from the psychological and sentimental point of views. I don't see any conflict between Marathi and Konkani. They stand on different levels. Marathi is a very developed and it will go on. But from the point of view, nevetherless, of mass popular use Konkani is there and Konkani should be encouraged. I never had been able to understand this conflict between languages; between two developed languages"
- Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
