27 job letters are given by J&K LG to relatives of terror victims.

At Lok Bhavan in Srinagar, J&K Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha delivered appointment letters to 27 relatives of terror victims on Sunday. Additionally, appointment letters under SRO 43 and the Jammu & Kashmir Rehabilitation Assistance Scheme-2022 were given to 22 NoKs of dead government employees.The LG reaffirmed his commitment to obtaining justice for the families of the terror victims. He said that in order to hold offenders accountable, cases that are still pending will be reopened.

Sinha honored the civilian victims of militant violence by stating that the relatives of “our poor and vulnerable brothers and sisters, felled by terrorists’ bullets, had clung to the hope of redress” for decades. He claimed that the Baramulla campaign, which was started last year, has given these families courage, support, and a newfound sense of self-worth.

“Our campaign to deliver justice to terror victims’ families has restored their tomorrow. We have succeeded in dispelling the shadow of injustice and ushering a new dawn of justice at doorsteps of terror victims’ families. To date, around 400 NoKs have received employment and will continue relentlessly until we reach the very last family still awaiting justice,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

“I view these appointment letters as true justice- and today’s event stands as its living testament,” the LG further said. He further directed the principal secretary home to conduct a comprehensive review of the cases pertaining to property encroachment of victims of terrorism.

“ …The lands or homes forcibly seized from terror-affected families will be liberated and returned, and cases yet to undergo investigation will receive impartial, transparent probes,” he said.

“There are many victims of terrorism who have lost their eyesight or are living with severe disabilities. We will chalk out a robust framework for their rehabilitation. The administration has also outlined a timeline for providing essential housing and other support to the victims of terrorism,” he said.
