Certain Public Administration Circulars provided at one time for concessionary marks to be given to ‘terrorist-affected families’ when sitting<br />

examinations for the recruitment to the public sector . This policy was revoked, however, by PA Circular 28/95 <strong>of</strong> 29.09.95. The circular states<br />

that ‘the concession granted for the families subjected to the loss <strong>of</strong> lives and property <strong>of</strong> the victims <strong>of</strong> terrorism will hereafter be confined<br />

to the compensation and other relief granted by the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Rehabilitation. The provision <strong>of</strong> relief marks for such families as per Public<br />

Administration Circular No. 17/92 will no longer be applicable’. In any event these circulars did not appear to cover families affected by<br />

violence not attributable to terrorist activities.<br />
