Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday handed over appointment letters to 37 next of kin of terrorism victims at the Convention Centre in Jammu.

 

Appointment letters were also handed over to 29 next of kin of government employees who lost their lives in service, and beneficiaries in age relaxation cases, under Jammu & Kashmir Rehabilitation Assistance Scheme-2022 and SRO 43. Paying tributes to the victims , the Lieutenant Governor vowed strongest action against the terror ecosystem and terrorist supporters.

 

“I pledge to the families of terror victims that we will work with full commitment to secure their dignified and honourable lives. We will discharge every duty towards them with utmost seriousness, and we will not rest until justice reaches every family,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

 

He observed that justice to terror victim families was not limited to only punishments but also healing the wounds and restoring dignity. “Justice also lies in which stories society chooses to remember. Justice also means wiping the tears of grieving families, acknowledging their pain, and healing the wounds inflicted on their souls. Justice also means that the stories of terror-victim families, once forgotten, are now being rewritten with renewed memory and honour. We stand at a decisive turning point in J&K today. The youth of the Union Territory and terror victim families aspire to a bright future and wish to live a better life. It is our shared responsibility to make that future a reality and create the opportunities they deserve,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

 

“The people of Jammu Kashmir know fully well who shielded such terror elements, but that shield is now crumbling. I warn them that there is no longer any safe haven in Jammu Kashmir for terrorists or the networks that support them,” he said.

 

The Lieutenant Governor reiterated his commitment to ensuring that every terror victim’s family receives justice, jobs, recognition and support they deserve after years of suffering. “Terror victim families remained erased from society’s memory for decades. Among all these stories, the most painful and bitter truth is that these families were let down by the very system whose duty and primary obligation was to protect them. I do not see this merely as an administrative lapse, but a civilisational failure of that time,” Sinha said.
