Sinha also assured that FIRs will be registered where required and the properties unjustly taken away from them will be returned to them. “I met with some terror victims on June 29 in Anantnag which was heartbreaking... After consulting with the higher officials of administration, we arrived at a decision that they (the neglected terror victims) would get jobs and those who didn’t get financial support will be given assistance and will also facilitate self employment opportunities. And those incidents in which FIRs were not registered or properties were seized, the cases will be registered and their properties will be returned,” Sinha told media at Baramulla after handing over the appointment letters to 40 persons.
