The family of the Pahalgam terror attack victim, the late Santosh Jagdale, remembered him on the eve of the first anniversary of the tragedy and urged the government to ensure such an incident does not happen in the future.

Pragati Jagdale, wife of the late Santosh Jagdale, recalled the horrors of April 22, 2025, when Pakistan-backed terrorists entered a village of Pahalgam and killed 26 individuals. She hailed India's retaliatory action, Operation Sindoor, while urging the Centre to recruit more individuals in the Indian armed forces.

Ms. Pragati Jagdale told ANI, "A year has passed, but I am still stuck on the Pahalgam attack. I did not know that he was no more; I thought maybe he had passed out, but he will survive once we take him to the hospital... Our government understood our pain and carried out Operation Sindoor. I would like to urge the government to ensure that such things never happen again. After the incident, we had to go through a lot, but the government fulfilled all of their promises. The 26 families who were affected in the Pahalgam attack will never be able to get over it."
