NEW DELHI: The appointments are for posts in various Delhi government departments.

Gupta said the move was not just administrative but a long-overdue recognition of the victims' pain and rightful claims, which no previous government did.

"Today, as we appoint 125 individuals, 19 have already joined their duties. This is more than a bureaucratic decision—it is a restoration of rightful entitlements. The 1984 riots remain a dark chapter in the history of India. For those who lost loved ones, no compensation can ever be enough," she said.
