Overview

  • Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha met the family of Zakir Hussain, a civilian killed in Pakistani shelling on May 7, offering condolences and assuring full administrative support.
  • Hussain’s family demanded martyr recognition, enhanced compensation beyond the announced ₹10 lakh, and sustainable livelihood measures such as a petrol pump allotment.
  • Sinha also visited a shelter in Mishriwala housing families displaced by cross-border shelling, pledging new safety infrastructure, including bunkers, to protect border residents.
  • The recent violence stemmed from Indian Army strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians.
  • A fragile peace holds after India and Pakistan agreed on May 10 to cease military actions, following four days of intense hostilities that included ‘Operation Sindoor’ and retaliatory shelling.
