'I know you have been waiting for justice for many years. Today, I want to tell you that your wait is now over,' Sinha said in his address. He said that in cases where FIRs were not registered, directions will be given for their registrations. 'Action will also be taken to free the land and property of terror victims' families encroached by terrorist sympathisers or separatist elements,' he said after listening to the ordeal of families saying their properties have been encroached upon. The LG met the family members of Kashmiri civilians who were killed by Pakistan-backed terrorists. 'For decades, they were marginalised and their voices were not heard. Justice was denied. Their pain was ignored, their stories untold, and the truth deliberately suppressed,' he said. He said that hundreds of families have gained strength & support to say their loved ones were killed by Pakistani terrorists. 'It's shocking, before 2019 terrorists' funeral processions were allowed while thousands of common Kashmiris killed by terrorists, remained forgotten and unacknowledged,' he said. Sinha said that the Government of India is committed to bring voices of victims to the forefront and ensure justice. 'I know, for years truth was buried under the pressure of the terror ecosystem. Now, the families are exposing Pakistan and their supporters inside Kashmir,' he said. He asked family members of terror victims, who are entitled for government jobs to submit their cases to concerned deputy commissioners. 'I assured them of a speedy process of appointment within a month. There would be assured financial assistance and hand-holding to family members who want to start their own business venture,' he said.
