Sinha said the initiative will streamline and expedite the process of providing relief, compassionate appointments and other forms of assistance to those who have suffered from militancy in the UT. The portal has been developed by the home department in collaboration with NIC and will serve as a centralised platform to capture and maintain comprehensive district-wise data on militancy-affected families. The LG said he will personally monitor and oversee the redressal of all cases across the UT. “The details of any encroachments on the property of the victims or their next of kin are also being captured,” said Sinha adding, “It will ensure that no legitimate case is left unaddressed and timely support is extended to eligible families in terms of financial relief, ex-gratia compensation and compassionate employment while ensuring elimination of any bogus or multiple claims.”
The administration has also established toll- free helpline numbers at the offices of the Divisional Commissioners in both Kashmir and Jammu divisions, to facilitate the registration of any overlooked or pending claims.
