Pahalgam Terror Attack: 10 Months On, Jagdale Family Awaits Promised Job And Compensation

Ten months after terror shattered the calm of Pahalgam, the Jagdale family is still waiting for relief. Santosh Jagdale lost his life in the brutal attack, and while the Maharashtra government announced ₹50 lakh compensation and a government job for his family, the promises remain on paper. His daughter, Asawari Jagdale, has been making rounds of government offices, from the Pune Municipal Corporation to Mantralaya, but has yet to receive an appointment letter. Despite discussions of offering her a Class 2 post based on her qualifications, the file is still pending, prolonging the family’s financial and emotional struggle.
