**Headline: J&K Government Provides Job to Widow of Pony Operator Killed in Pahalgam Terror Attack**

**Srinagar, June 14, 2025** – The Jammu and Kashmir government has appointed Gulnaz Akhter, the widow of Syed Adil Hussain, a pony ride operator who was killed in the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, to a permanent position in the Fisheries Department in Anantnag. The announcement came on Saturday as Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha personally handed over the appointment letter to Ms. Akhter at her residence in Hapatnar, Pahalgam.

Syed Adil Hussain was killed during the Pahalgam terror attack battling with terrorists. The L-G said the job was a “mark of gratitude” for Hussain’s valor in protecting tourists during the attack. Mr. Sinha emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting the family and addressing employment needs in the region.

“The whole country is proud of the bravery of Adil who sacrificed his life while protecting tourists at Pahalgam on April 22,” Sinha stated on X, formerly Twitter. The J&K Government had previously provided financial assistance to the family.

The April 22 attack at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, including Hussain’s, has prompted significant security responses. The Indian military launched Operation Sindoor targeting terror hideouts across the border in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, as a consequence of the cross-border attack.
