The Chief Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to support affected families and strengthen relief and rehabilitation measures in border areas.
Earlier in the day, the Chief Minister posted on X (formerly Twitter):“Heading to Uri today to meet those affected by the recent shelling. Over the past few days, I’ve witnessed immense pain, loss, and unimaginable courage of our people. These visits should have been to share joy, to speak of development — not to offer condolences. The pain of my people is deeply personal.”
