Our government will provide compensation of Rs 50 lakhs to the families of the deceased…Where there is no earning member, we will provide a government job to the immediate family member of the deceased,” CM Devendra Fadnavis said.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis officially announced during the cabinet meeting that Pahalgam terrorist attack victim Santosh Jagdale’s daughter will be given a government job.

The terror attack in Pahalgam occurred on April 22 at the popular Baisaran meadow, where terrorists targeted tourists, killing 25 Indian nationals from across the country and one Nepalese citizen, leaving several others injured.
Acting on the attack, the Indian government suspended the 1960 Indus Water Treaty, downgrading bilateral ties and shutting down Attari checkpost as it hit back at Islamabad over the brazen attack. (ANI)
