Addressing the media and residents at the camp, Sat Sharma expressed deep concern over the targeting of civilians by Pakistan.
“As decisive retaliation to the brutal massacre of tourists in Pahalgam India effectively busted terrorists’ locations. In frustration, Pakistan has resorted to cowardly shelling of civilian areas. In this hour of crisis, our priority is the safety and well-being of our citizens”, said Sat Sharma.

Jugal Kishore Sharma commended the Indian armed forces for their effective response to the terrorist activities. “Under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our forces have shown the world the strength and resolve of Bharat. The dismantling of terrorist infrastructure is a clear message to those who threaten our peace,” he said.
