Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

The Board of Directors of the Jammu and Kashmir Projects Construction Corporation Limited (JKPCC) on Friday, 23 October, approved all pending compassionate appointment cases placed before it during its 101st meeting, chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary. Choudhary said the decision reflected the government’s commitment to addressing the concerns of affected families and providing timely support. The board directed officials to assess the financial implications of the approved appointments and take necessary follow-up action. JKPCC Managing Director Ishfaq Ahmad Wani said the corporation was committed to resolving long-pending issues and safeguarding the legitimate interests of employees and their families.
