Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said the administration will investigate all unregistered cases involving terror-affected families and ensure the return of confiscated properties to their rightful owners.
Speaking to reporters in Baramulla, LG Sinha after distributing appointment letters to the families of terror victims, said after consultations with senior government officials, a decision was taken to provide government jobs to eligible members of these families.
“Those who have not received financial support will now be provided assistance. We will also facilitate self-employment opportunities,” LG Sinha said.
He shared his emotional experience after meeting several terror-affected families in Anantnag. “The families were very emotional. Many of them, despite being eligible, were not provided government jobs. It was their right,” he said.
He also said the administration has also decided to review cases where FIRs were not filed or properties were seized. “Such cases will be investigated, and wherever applicable, confiscated properties will be returned,” the LG assured.
During the Baramulla event, 40 individuals received appointment letters under this initiative. LG Sinha emphasised that senior officials, including the Home Secretary of J&K, are personally monitoring the implementation of these measures.
He added dedicated helpline numbers have been activated in every district for terror victim families. “I appeal to the people of Jammu and Kashmir who have suffered due to terrorism to submit their applications through the helpline. Their cases will be investigated promptly,” he added.
