PUNE, March 19 -- Nearly a year after her father was killed in the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, Asawari Jagdale, on Wednesday, was appointed as an administrative officer (Class II post) in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). The appointment came following state government intervention, triggered by her recent public appeal for employment. Asawari, daughter of Santosh Jagdale, a Pune-based businessman killed in the April 22, 2025, attack, received her appointment letter at the PMC headquarters on Wednesday. The move comes a month after she publicly expressed frustration over delays in securing the government job promised to victims' families. "I thank chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, deputy CM Eknath Shinde, and PMC chief Naval Kishore Ram for issuing my appointment letter today. After the PMC handed over the letter, Fadnavis sir called me and extended his support and best wishes," Asawari said. Officials noted that Asawari's educational qualifications, a degree in computer science and an MBA in Human Resources, were considered while assigning her to administrative role. PMC commissioner Naval Kishore Ram confirmed, "Asawari has been appointed as an administrative officer, a Class II post, following directions from the chief minister." Last month, Asawari had publicly voiced her distress over not receiving the promised job, stating that her family had been facing financial hardship since her father's death. Her remarks drew attention to delays in implementing the state government's assurances. Soon after, deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde intervened, directing the PMC to expedite her appointment. The civic body processed her case, leading to the issuance of the appointment letter on Wednesday. A statement from the chief minister's office said, "CM Devendra Fadnavis had assured Asawari, daughter of Santosh Jagdale, who was killed in the Pahalgam attack, of a government job. Today, she was handed the appointment letter by the Pune Mayor."...
