Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday met family members of those killed by terrorists in the valley and said he would ensure that they get justice. Sinha said such families were "marginalised" and their voices went unheard.

Just 5 months back, a former sarpanch in Shopian was killed and injured a tourist couple from Rajasthan. The first attack took place on an open tourist camp near Pahalgam and the second on the former sarpanch at Hirpora in south Kashmir, officials said.
