The Lieutenant Governor emphasized delivering justice and addressing the inherited grievances with priority. Sinha assured that qualified relatives of the deceased would receive employment opportunities and financial aid, asserting the administration's sensitivity towards those affected by terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
