Article 370 removal dismantled terror ecosystem, says LG Sinha
In India, there is a special place called Jammu and Kashmir.
A long time ago, it had a special rule called Article 370.
Seven years ago, India took that rule away.
A leader named Manoj Sinha is the person in charge of Jammu and Kashmir.
He recently gave out appointment letters, which are like official job papers.
He gave them to 37 families of people who were hurt or killed by terrorists.
These families had waited for many years for this kind of help.
Sinha said the rule change made the area safer and fairer.
He also said the families now feel respected and remembered.
He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for these changes.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha marked seven years since the abrogation of Article 370.
Sinha said the constitutional changes dismantled the terror ecosystem, restored equal rights and accelerated justice for terror victims' families.
He handed appointment letters to 37 next of kin of civilians killed by terrorists at an event in Srinagar.
He said the beneficiaries' cases had remained pending for decades but were resolved after August 5, 2019.
Sinha credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, saying the principle of one nation, one flag, one constitution is now fully implemented.
