Soldiers martyred in Pulwama attack
Friday, February 15, was a sombre day as the mortal remains of the 40 martyred CRPF personnel were brought to Delhi's Palam Airport where PM Narendra Modi - hands folded and head bowed - paid his final respects. Others present were Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Congress President Rahul Gandhi and the three defence chiefs. The mortal remains were then sent to their respective native places. (Image Courtesy: Twitter/@crpfindia)
