In a significant move to support families affected by terrorism and ensure accountability, a special cell and a toll-free number will be established in the secretariat of the Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor. These initiatives aim to address the concerns of terror victims' families and work towards bringing culprits to justice, reported news agency PTI. 

During a high-level meeting on Tuesday, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha also directed deputy commissioners and Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) to reopen terror cases that were "deliberately" suppressed. This development follows Sinha's recent meeting with family members of Kashmiri civilians killed in terror attacks, where he stated that justice had been denied to victims of terrorism for decades before 2019.

"Special Cell to be established in LG Secretariat to address concerns of families. A similar cell to be set up in Chief Secretary's office. Every possible assistance would be provided to terror victim families & culprits roaming free for many decades will be brought to justice," Sinha posted on his official X handle.
