On 7th July, the Administrative Council which met under the chairmanship of the Lieutenant Governor of occupied Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, approved the enhancement of ex-gratia relief to the next-of-kin (NoK) of occupying armed forces based in the valley. The ex-gratia award shall range from Rs 5.00 lacs to Rs 25.00 lacs in favor of NoK of Indian armed forces personnel in Kashmir.
