A pall of gloom descended in Solapur and Nanded districts of Maharashtra on Wednesday (30 November) after an army officer and a soldier were killed battling terrorists in Tuesday's terror attack in Nagrota, Jammu and Kashmir.
Indian Army's Major Kunal M Gosavi, 33, of Pandharpur city in Solapur and Lance-Naik Sambhaji Y Kadam, 35, of Jana village in Nanded were felled by terrorist bullets during an attack on an army camp at Nagrota, near Jammu city.
Gosavi had come home on a month's vacation and left for re-joining duty at the Nagrota camp last Saturday (26 November). Posted in the fifth Maratha Light Infantry, Kadam had sought a posting in Jammu and Kashmir to join the fight against cross-border terror. He was due to retire around 2018.

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.
