Delhi’s Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, paid his respects to three army personnel who lost their lives in a clash with militants in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district on Saturday.
In a tweet that he articulated in Hindi, he expressed his homage to the indomitable courage displayed by these soldiers who sacrificed their lives while defending the nation against terrorists. Kejriwal highlighted the tremendous risks our soldiers undertake to safeguard us and acknowledged the pride the entire nation feels for their bravery.
The encounter took place on Friday in the Halan forest area of Kulgam, located in the higher altitudes of south Kashmir. The confrontation unfolded after the terrorists opened fire on a security forces team that had established a tent in the region as part of their area dominance efforts.
