Recognising Sufferings
8/5/2026 10:21:14 PM
The government is ensuring that terror victim families get justice and their kith and kin are provided with the jobs.
While handing over the appointment letters to 37 Next of Kins (NoKs) of civilians who were killed by terrorists, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha reaffirmed the nation’s pledge to stand with the family members of martyrs.
He reiterated that providing justice to terror victim families is the reaffirmation of the national will as their pain and wounds remained unacknowledged for several decades.
For years, thousands of families in Jammu and Kashmir bore the brunt of terrorism. Innocent civilians were targeted by terrorists, leaving behind grieving parents, widows, children and siblings. Many civilian victims and their families remained on the margins, struggling with emotional trauma, financial hardship and social uncertainty. Their pain often went unnoticed, and many were left to rebuild shattered lives without adequate institutional support.
The wounds inflicted by terrorism are not just personal tragedies but a collective loss for society. Families of martyrs remained unacknowledged for several decades. It reflects a difficult truth that deserves attention. Recognising their suffering is the first step towards healing, while extending meaningful assistance demonstrates the government’s resolve to stand by those who paid the highest price for terrorism.
Employment for the next of kin is among the most effective forms of rehabilitation. A government job offers financial stability, social security and dignity. More importantly, it restores hope to families that have often spent years battling uncertainty. Such measures also ensure that children of victims receive better opportunities and are empowered to build secure futures despite the irreparable loss they have suffered.
Terrorism leaves scars that endure across generations, and governments have a responsibility to address both the economic and emotional consequences. Sustained support mechanisms are essential to help affected families regain confidence and lead dignified lives.
The initiative also sends a strong message that the nation neither forgets nor abandons its citizens who have suffered because of terrorism. It reinforces public confidence in democratic institutions and underscores the principle that innocent lives lost to violence will always be remembered with honour. Such recognition is crucial in strengthening the bond between the people and the State.
As J&K continues its journey towards peace, development and normalcy, acknowledging the sacrifices of terror victims is indispensable.
The government’s commitment to supporting terror victim families reflects a broader vision of inclusive governance, where every citizen matters and every sacrifice is honoured.
A compassionate nation is judged not only by how it confronts violence but also by how it cares for those who have suffered because of it.
