J&K Policy: Jobs for Terror Victims, No Mercy for Terrorists
The leader of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, has announced a new rule.
Families of people who were killed by terrorists will get government jobs.
But people who support terrorism will not get any benefits.
He said this is to make things fair and to help those who have suffered.
He also mentioned that the government will punish terrorists, no matter where they are.
This is part of a bigger change in how the region is being governed, with a focus on justice and security.
The government recently gave job letters to 41 families of terror victims, and earlier, 94 families received similar support.
This policy aims to support victims and their families, ensuring they get the help they need.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha announced a new policy to provide government jobs to families of terror victims.
The policy aims to bring justice to families who have waited for years and to punish terrorists.
Sinha contrasted the current approach with earlier administrations, which he said made compromises for temporary calm.
The administration handed over appointment letters to 41 next of kin of terror victims, 22 beneficiaries in age-relaxation cases, and 19 wards of police martyrs.
This is the second such event in recent months, with a previous event on July 28 where 94 appointment letters were given to terror victims' kin.
