February 14 this year marks the anniversary of the deadly 2019 Pulwama terror attack. India is paying its tribute to the 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel killed in the Pulwama terror attack in February last year. A memorial to the fallen soldiers has been inaugurated at the Lethpora camp in Jammu & Kashmir’s Srinagar on Friday.
To mark the one-year anniversary of the tragic Pulwama Attack, a special guest is present at the wreath-laying ceremony at the CRPF campus in Kashmir’s Lethpora.
The special guest is Umesh Gopinath Jadhav from Maharashtra, who took a 61,000 km long journey across India, solely to meet the families of the 40 jawans who had lost their lives in the attack.
After meeting the families of the Pulwama martyrs, a proud Jadhav said that he was blessed to have met them. “Parents lost their son, wives lost their husbands, children lost their fathers, friends lost their friends,” he said, adding, “I collected soil from their houses and their cremation grounds.”
