Terror victims families finally get justice: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Aug 05: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday handed over appointment letters to 37 Next of Kins (NoKs) of civilians who were brutally killed by terrorists, describing it as a profound honour to stand with the families of terror victims on this historic day. It is not merely about appointment letters, butit is about remembrance of martyrs, justice to terror victim families, and the reaffirmation ofour national will, Sinha said. My heartfelt tribute to the innocent civilians martyred by terrorists, and I salute the families who, after decades of anguish and wait, now hold appointment letters that restore dignity and livelihood. For several decades, the pain of terror victim families remained unacknowledged, their wounds unseen. Terrorism tore apart homes and cast futures into uncertainty, the LG added. The Lieutenant Governor said the appointment letters are not just documents of employment but symbols of social justice, recognition, and the nation's solemn promise that its martyrs will never be forgotten nor their families abandoned. He also said thatafterAugust 5, 2019, the government has dismantled the terrorecosystem to a large extent,strengthened law and order, restored equal rights, and created opportunitiesthat allowfamilies to rebuild their lives with confidence. Today's appointment letters are not just documents of employment, but they are symbols of social justice, recognition and the nation's solemn promise that its martyrs will never be forgotten, nor their families abandoned, the Lieutenant Governor said. Sinha said that the terror victim families receiving appointment letters today are among the many beneficiaries of the new order post-abrogation of Article 370. Their cases, delayed for decades, have finally been addressed. This is not compensation for loss because no money, no job, no paper can replace a loved one. It is, however, an assurance that the nation stands beside them and we are determined to help rebuild lives and restore dignity, he said. Reaffirming the government's commitment, the Lieutenant Governor said, We are absolutely resolved to dismantle the terror network, to bring its perpetrators and enablers to justice and to secure for every citizen of UT a life of peace, equality, and hope. He said that by ending the system that bred discrimination and terrorism, Prime Minister Modi made it clear that in Jammu and Kashmir, lamps of prosperity would burn not only in select palaces but also in the huts of the poor. After 33 years, a lamp has been lit in the home of martyr Wali Mohammad Wani of Shopian. On 16 July 1993, Wali Mohammad was killed by terrorists' bullets. Today, not only his family but the entire Shopian feels connected to the national mainstream, Sinha said. The Lieutenant Governor observed that peace must be anchored in opportunity. A society that trusts its institutions becomes resilient against fear. A family that receives services without discrimination becomes a stakeholder in peace and progress. A youth empowered with education and employment is empowered to fight separatism and terrorism. Appointment letters were also handed over to 32 beneficiaries under Compassionate Appointment Rules SRO-43 and Rehabilitation Assistance Scheme (RAS). The event was attended by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, DGP Nalin Prabhat, and other senior officials.
