Lt Governor VK Saxena has sanctioned a relaxation of educational qualifications and age criteria for 88 victims of the anti-Sikh riots, facilitating their application for government jobs in Delhi, officials announced on Sunday.

This move allows the applicants, now eligible for positions as multi-tasking staff across various government departments, to benefit from increased employment opportunities.
