After relaxing the recruitment eligibility of 47 members of the victim families of the November 1984 Sikh massacre, the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi handed over the appointment letters for government jobs yesterday. These letters were handed over by the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi (Delhi LG) VK Saxena himself to the members of the victim families. 47 victims of the 1984 Sikh massacre received joining letters for government jobs in the colony of the families of the 1984 Sikh massacre, C Block Tilak Vihar Park located in Tilak Nagar in west Delhi. On this occasion, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena ordered the concerned department to complete the verification of 437 more applications as soon as possible and give them appointment offer letters. On this occasion, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi (Delhi LG) VK Saxena said that for these families this is not just a job, but a symbol of a new beginning in their lives and the return of self-respect. It was a relief to provide appointment letters to these victims today after a delay of 40 years due to government negligence. Meanwhile, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena also announced the renaming of Tilak Vihar’s ‘Widow Colony’ as per the wishes of the local people. He said that the pain of losing one’s family members in this unfortunate incident can never be reduced, but those wounds can definitely be healed with compassion and empathy towards the victims. Sardar Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Delhi Committee Secretary Jagdeep Singh Kahlon, members Atma Singh Lubana, Amarjit Singh Pappu, Gurmeet Singh Bhatia and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
Delhi Gurdwara Committee President Sardar Harmeet Singh Kalka thanked the Delhi Lieutenant Governor for providing government jobs to the victims of the Sikh massacre in November 1984. He said that in the present time, it was our big demand that the work of rehabilitating these families should be done, which no government has done. Everyone says that we should have conflicts with the governments, but look, if good relations are established with the government, then a lot of work can be done.
