Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu mourned the death of the brave soldier. He said that the government would provide every help to the family of the martyr.

Earlier, the Chief Minister visited Majhiyar village in the Nadaun constituency to participate in the cremation of his cousin who died after prolonged illness. He also visited the house of Avtar Singh Katoch in Bela village who died recently near Nadaun. Katoch remained the ‘pradhan’ of Bela gram panchayat for about seven terms.
