Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced a Rs 5 lakh ex gratia from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for the family of Sukhwinder Kaur, and expressed grief over Kaur’s death.
“Our government stands firmly with her family during this time of immense pain, and we are committed to providing all possible support to help them cope with this devastating loss,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rajya Saba MP Sanjeev Arora also extended financial assistance to the family of Kaur, announcing Rs 2 lakh for her family.
On May 9, it was reported that the family in Ferozepur was injured in a Pakistani drone attack. "We received information about 3 people being injured. They have burn injuries. Doctors will treat them. Most of the drones have been neutralised by the army," Bhupinder Singh Sidhu, SSP said.
After a week of fighting, India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire, however, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned that India has paused the attacks and it will depend on Pakistan's behaviour.
