West Bengal Government Plans Jobs for Families of Political Violence Victims
The West Bengal government plans to offer government jobs to one member of families who lost relatives to political violence over the past 25 years, including incidents linked to elections. District magistrates will identify eligible families, with advertisements expected to invite applications. The proposal, approved by the state Cabinet and Law Department, aims to support victims' families affected by political retaliation. A formal notification detailing eligibility and implementation is anticipated soon.
