Jammu and Kashmir Approves Rs 41.16 Lakh for Pellet Victim's LPG DistributorshipPreviousNext

The Jammu and Kashmir government has approved Rs 41.16 lakh to complete an LPG distributorship for Insha Mushtaq, who lost her eyesight due to pellet gun injuries during the 2016 unrest. The distributorship, sanctioned in 2018 as part of her rehabilitation, had been stalled due to delayed fund release. Insha welcomed the decision and urged a nationwide ban on pellet guns, highlighting their lasting physical harm. The announcement was made by Minister Satish Sharma, emphasizing justice delayed but not denied.
