Hakeem Yaseen Welcomes LG Sinha’s Decision to Extend Compassionate Jobs to Families of Natural Death Victims
Srinagar, March 24: Jammu, Srinagar, March 24 (Scoop News)-Hakeem Muhammad Yaseen, President of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) and former minister, on Tuesday welcomed the recent decision of Manoj Sinha to extend compassionate appointment benefits to the families of government employees who have died due to natural causes.
In a statement issued here, Yaseen termed the move a “humane and timely step” that will provide much-needed relief to families who have been left in distress following the loss of their loved ones.
He said that the inclusion of natural death cases under the compassionate appointment policy reflects a compassionate and people-centric approach by the administration.
Referring to the announcement made by the Lieutenant Governor in Jammu, Yaseen noted that around 438 appointment letters have already been issued to the next of kin (NoKs), particularly benefiting families who suffered losses during the pandemic period.
He said this initiative acknowledges the hardships faced by such families and offers them a sense of security and dignity.
Yaseen further appreciated the directions issued to Deputy Commissioners and Senior Superintendents of Police to expedite pending cases and ensure timely processing of applications.
He emphasized that while speedy disposal is essential, maintaining transparency and proper verification is equally important to ensure that only deserving beneficiaries receive the support.
While welcoming the decision, Yaseen urged the administration to further broaden the scope of the policy by including other categories of deaths and casualties so that more affected families can benefit from compassionate appointments.
He stressed that a comprehensive and inclusive approach would ensure justice and support for all deserving households facing similar hardships.
Hakeem expressed hope that the administration will continue to adopt such welfare-oriented measures to support vulnerable sections of society and address their genuine concerns.
Reiterating his party’s commitment to the welfare of the people, Yaseen said that such initiatives go a long way in healing the wounds of affected families and strengthening public trust in governance.
