Vows to reopen pending cases for justice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reaffirms support to all terror victims’ families<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hands over 49 appointment letters to sufferers\u2019 families, employees\u2019 kin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar, Mar 15: Asserting that over 400 appointment letters have been handed over to Next of Kin (NOKs) of terror victims till date, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said that pending cases will be reopened to hold perpetrators accountable.<\/p>\n

While handing over the appointment letters to 27 NoKs of victims of terrorism, at Lok Bhavan here, LG Sinha, according to the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) reiterated his resolve to secure justice for every terror victim’s family.\u00a0 Appointment letters were also handed over to 22 NoKs of deceased government employees, under Jammu & Kashmir Rehabilitation Assistance Scheme-2022 and SRO 43.<\/p>\n

Paying homage to the civilian martyrs, the Lieutenant Governor said that for decades, NoKs of our poor and vulnerable brothers and sisters, felled by terrorists’ bullets, had clung to the hope of redress. He said the campaign launched from Baramulla last year has provided these families with support, courage, and renewed self-belief.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 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,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

He said that it is not merely an administrative exercise of signing papers, shuffling files, or filling posts but a profound commitment to justice. \u201cMy aim throughout this process is to ensure that no terror-affected family slipped into the cracks of neglect, fading from public and official gaze. I view these appointment letters as true justice- and today’s event stands as its living testament,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

He said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, important steps were taken over the past five to six years with a singular, overarching goal- to forge a Jammu Kashmir undefined by the pains of its past, but brimming with self-confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn August 2020, I had set this vision-to develop a Jammu\u00a0 Kashmir that measures its strength by the heights of its dreams, and to build a system rooted in social justice, dignity, and equal opportunity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor directed the Principal Secretary Home to conduct a comprehensive review of the cases pertaining to property encroachment of victims of terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have repeatedly affirmed that 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that the administration is committed to the rehabilitation of those left scarred by terror.<\/p>\n

“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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor called upon people to preserve the unity and foil the efforts of separatist elements. \u201cAdhering to the Prime Minister\u2019s mantra of \u2018Zero Tolerance towards Terrorism\u2019, the administration, Police and Security forces are taking decisive action to dismantle terror networks,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cWe must remain vigilant against divisive elements attempting to divide us along sectarian lines. We are Indians; our collective duty is the peace and progress of our nation. Officials and citizens must also work together to strengthen faith in our government institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
