J&K Cops To Donate A Day’s Salary To Relatives Of Policemen Killed By Pakistan-Backed Terrorists
Senior J&K police officers carry a coffin containing the body of a slain policeman.
Jammu and Kashmir police personnel have decided to donate a day’s salary for the families of the cops, who were killed in the line of duty, mostly in stone-pelting related violence and attacks by Pakistan-backed terrorists, this year.
According to the Press Trust of India, 14 policemen and two special police officers have sacrificed their lives in various militancy-related incidents during the year. Six of these policemen were killed and their faces disfigured after terrorists fired bullets at them in an attack in Anantnag district last week. Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba had claimed responsibility for the attack.
“To show solidarity and their concern for the bereaved families of these martyrs, J&K police personnel will donate one day’s salary of the current month,” statement released by the official spokesperson of the J&K police said.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
