Jammu, March 27, 2025 – In a compassionate gesture, Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha handed over an appointment letter to Ms. Renu Sharma, sister of Shri Arjun Sharma, who tragically lost his life in the Reasi terror attack.

The J&K Administration is committed to providing every form of aid to ensure their well-being,” he stated.
The compassionate appointment of Ms. Renu Sharma reflects the administration’s efforts to extend support to the kin of civilians martyred in terror-related incidents, offering them financial stability and a sense of security in the wake of such tragedies.
The Reasi terror attack, which targeted innocent pilgrims, remains a somber reminder of the ongoing security challenges in the region. The Lieutenant Governor’s gesture underscores the administration’s resolve to honor the memory of those lost while supporting their families in rebuilding their lives.
