Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board Chairperson Dr. Darakhshan Andrabi on Thursday handed over an appointment letter to the brother of Syed Adil Hussain Shah, who lost his life while trying to protect tourists during a terrorist attack in Pahalgam’s Baisaran area on April 22.
Speaking to reporters said, Dr. Andrabi said the appointment is a gesture to honour Adil’s supreme sacrifice. “He gave his life to protect others. This job letter is a small tribute to his courage. His sacrifice will never be forgotten,” she said.
Nazakat Ahmad, brother of the slain horse ride operator, received the appointment letter and expressed his gratitude to the authorities. “I am proud of my brother. He gave his life for humanity,” he said.
On April 22, at least 26 civilians including Adil Hussain were killed when terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Baisaran valley, triggering widespread condemnation and sorrow across the region.
