Anantnag (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 30 (ANI): Families of the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack have expressed gratitude to the Indian Army following the elimination of three terrorists involved in the incident during Operation Mahadev.

“We felt very proud that our brother did such a brave deed. If he wanted, he could have run away and saved his life, but till the end, he stood there and saved the lives of the tourists. He did not see any caste or religion; he showed humanity,” Sabzar told ANI.
Thanking the Indian Army, he added, “We are very proud of the Indian army, as the three terrorists were killed yesterday. They did not retreat until they took full revenge.”
Shabari Guha, wife of the deceased Sameer Guha, also welcomed the outcome of Operation Mahadev.
“I would like to congratulate our armed forces, CRPF and J&K police, as they did a big operation and achieved success. Such a big wound cannot be erased, but at least there is some relief,” she said.

The security forces have killed the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam terrorist attack…”
