Baramulla, Jul 13 : Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said the administration will investigate all unregistered cases involving militancy-affected families and ensure the return of confiscated properties to their rightful owners.

Speaking to reporters in Baramulla, LG Sinha after distributing appointment letters to the families of militancy victims, per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said after consultations with senior government officials, a decision was taken to provide government jobs to eligible members of these families.

“Those who have not received financial support will now be provided assistance. We will also facilitate self-employment opportunities,” LG Sinha said.

He shared his emotional experience after meeting several militancy -affected families in Anantnag. “The families were very emotional. Many of them, despite being eligible, were not provided government jobs. It was their right,” he said.

He also said the administration has also decided to review cases where FIRs were not filed or properties were seized. “Such cases will be investigated, and wherever applicable, confiscated properties will be returned,” the LG assured.
