Delhi Cabinet clears jobs for 1984 anti-Sikh riots victims' kin

India Nov 14, 2025

After years of waiting, the Delhi Cabinet has approved a policy to give government jobs to families who lost loved ones in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
If the dependent is over 50, they can now nominate an adult family member—like a son, daughter, daughter-in-law, or son-in-law—for the job, ending decades of delays and red tape.

For many families, this move brings long-overdue relief

For many families, this move brings long-overdue relief and a sense of justice after more than 40 years.
The new rules make it easier for younger generations to get support by relaxing age and education requirements and setting up a transparent system for applications.
It's about restoring stability and dignity to those who've waited far too long for help.
