On this day, two years ago, the nation witnessed one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on our brave soldiers in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir. A convoy of 78 vehicles carrying over 2500 CRPF personnel was targeted by a suicide bomber, resulting in the loss of 40 precious lives and injuring many others.

Today, we remember and honor the brave hearts who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, their families, and loved ones who were left behind to bear the irreparable loss. Their supreme sacrifice will always be remembered and cherished, and we will always be indebted to their valor and courage.
