In a gesture of solidarity and condolences, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced a compensation of ₹10 lakh each for the families of two individuals from the state who were killed in the recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. The announcement comes as a relief to the families of the victims, who have been grappling with the loss of their loved ones.
The attack, which occurred on Saturday, claimed the lives of 18 people, including two individuals from Karnataka. The victims were identified as 35-year-old Rohan Mithal from Bengaluru and 25-year-old Ashok Kumar from Mysuru. The two men were on a vacation in Pahalgam when the attack occurred.
According to reports, the Chief Minister spoke to the victims’ families over the phone to express his condolences and offer his support during this difficult time. The mortal remains of one of the victims, Rohan Mithal, are expected to arrive in Bengaluru on Wednesday, and the State Government has made necessary arrangements to ensure a dignified and peaceful farewell.
The compensation of ₹10 lakh each will be disbursed to the families of the two victims, which is a significant gesture of support from the Government. This amount will go a long way in helping the families cope with the financial implications of the loss of their loved ones.
The attack on Pahalgam has sent shockwaves across the country, with people from all walks of life condemning the brutal act of terrorism. The Indian government has also condemned the attack, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken to the Chief Ministers of various states, including Siddaramaiah, to discuss the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
The people of Karnataka have also come forward to express their solidarity with the families of the victims. Various organizations and individuals have extended their condolences and offered their support to the families, and many have also donated to the relief fund set up by the Karnataka Government.
The attack on Pahalgam is a stark reminder of the dangers of terrorism and the need for governments and citizens to work together to combat this menace. It is also a testament to the resilience of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who have faced numerous challenges and tragedies in recent years.
In the face of such tragedy, it is heartening to see the Chief Minister of Karnataka take proactive steps to support the families of the victims. The compensation of ₹10 lakh each is a significant gesture of solidarity and will go a long way in helping the families cope with the loss of their loved ones.
As the state mourns the loss of its citizens, the people of Karnataka will continue to stand in solidarity with the families of the victims. The State Government’s efforts to support the families will also be closely watched, and it is hoped that similar gestures of support will be extended to other victims of terrorism across the country.
