New Delhi, May 28 -- Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday handed over appointment letters to 125 individuals from families affected by the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, marking a symbolic moment at the Delhi Secretariat. The appointments are for posts in various Delhi government departments. Gupta said the move was not just administrative but a long-overdue recognition of the victims' pain and rightful claims, which no previous government did. "Today, as we appoint 125 individuals, 19 have already joined their duties. This is more than a bureaucratic decision-it is a restoration of rightful entitlements.The 1984 riots remain a dark chapter in the history of India. For those who lost loved ones, no compensation can ever be enough," she said. The event was attended by minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee president Harmeet Singh Kalka, and senior officials from the revenue department. "This is not just an appointment-it is justice walking into their lives after forty years of silence and struggle. We cannot undo the past, but we can certainly improve their present," Gupta added. In January, lieutenant governor VK Saxena approved a relaxation in age and educational qualifications for 88 applicants under the special employment compensation scheme for riot victims. The Delhi government periodically organises special camps through the revenue department to verify applications and issue certificates that enable riot-affected families to access employment and other benefits. At the event, minister Sirsa said: "This moment is deeply personal-not just as a minister, but as a member of a Sikh family that has endured this pain and this wait. This government has finally delivered what should have been done decades ago."...
