Srinagar: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Thursday met the family members of victims of terrorism from across north, central and south Kashmir, at Raj Bhawan, an official press release informed.
“The family members whose loved ones were brutally killed by various terrorist groups in the past narrated the horrific incidents and sought the intervention of Lt Governor for resolution of their long pending issues,” the official release said.
It said paying homage to the slain civilians, the LG assured every necessary support and assistance to the families who, despite suffering immense personal loss, hardships and pain, “were excluded from the mainstream of development” for several decades.
“Instead of compassion and support, the terrorism-affected families were marginalized, and their voices went unheard. I will try my best to ensure justice, welfare and rehabilitation of these families,” the LG said.
The LG said the security forces and J&K Police are determined to dismantle the terror ecosystem.
“Our security forces and police are committed to completely neutralise terror groups and the terror ecosystem sponsored by the neighbouring country. At the same time, we will ensure that families targeted by terrorists and who were left behind are provided with all the assistance, support and their rights are protected,” he said.
