Says Decades of Silence Broken; Helplines Set Up Across J&K to Register Grievances of Terror Victims, Grievances from 90s Being Addressed
Srinagar, July 13 (JKNS): In a significant move aimed at acknowledging the long-ignored pain of thousands of terror-affected families, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said his administration has begun delivering justice and support to the next of kin (NoKs) of terror victims in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a poat on X, office of LG J&K as per news agency JKNS wrote, Justice at last! Handed over appointment letters to NoKs of terror victims. These families, forsaken and forgotten, suffered silently for decades. Stories of their loved ones, brutally killed by Pakistan-backed terrorists are being brought to forefront.
I’m committed to ensure that these families receive the justice, jobs, recognition and support they deserve after years of suffering. It is a historic step to finally recognize and honour the thousands of innocent civilians in J&K, post reads.
Truth about these families was deliberately suppressed. No one came to wipe their tears. Everyone knew Pakistan-backed terrorists were involved in brutal killings but no one provided justice to thousands of elderly parents, wives, brothers or sisters, it reads.
The administration will now reach the doorsteps of all the families who have been waiting for justice for the decades and jobs, arrangements for their rehabilitation and livelihood will be ensured, it reads.
Helplines have been set up in districts to register grievances of terror victims. We are receiving hundreds of complaints from 90s also. In many cases, FIRs were not registered, lands were encroached & properties demolished. I assure the people that culprits will not be spared, reads the post. (JKNS)
