“Deeply pained by the loss of innocent lives due to recent shelling from Pakistan. My government is taking every possible measure to minimise the hardship faced by our people,” the post read.
The Chief Minister stated that While no compensation can ever replace a loved one or heal the trauma caused to the family, as a gesture of support and solidarity, ex-gratia relief of Rs 10 lakh will be provided to families of all who have deceased.
“We stand with every affected family in this hour of grief,” the message added.
Relief operations are underway in affected areas, with district administrations directed to extend immediate assistance.
