Bengal Opens Govt Jobs for Kin of Political Violence Victims
West Bengal's government has notified a rule for jobs for family members of people killed in political violence. The notification sets a cut-off date of 2001, so families of victims from the past 25 years can apply. The move covers government jobs for the kin of those killed in political violence.
Context
Political clashes have been a recurring concern in West Bengal, and compensation or jobs for families are one way states respond. The 2001 cut-off means the rule looks back over a quarter century.
