Delhi Cabinet Clears Time-Bound Jobs Policy for 1984 Riot Victims’ Families

The move sets a defined process to resolve long‑pending employment assistance for 1984 victims’ dependents in line with Delhi High Court directions.

Overview

  • The Cabinet, in a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, approved the scheme with an explicit commitment to comply with Delhi High Court directions.
  • Dependents who are above 50 and unable to work may nominate a next‑generation family member—son, daughter, daughter‑in‑law, or son‑in‑law—for appointment.
  • The policy includes relaxations in age and educational qualifications to broaden eligibility for affected families.
  • A structured mechanism for verification, grievance redressal, and departmental allocation is intended to ensure fair and efficient appointments.
  • Officials say the framework is designed to expedite cases left unresolved since a 2007 Cabinet decision after roughly 18 years of administrative delay.
