I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of 16 army jawans in a road accident in Zeema village, Lachen, North Sikkim. The fateful accident took place while they were traveling from Chatten to Thangu lake.
We are once again reminded of how much our country’s army sacrifices in their wholehearted service to the nation. While we sorrow deeply in the irreparable loss of these precious lives, we salute them for their incomparable service to the nation.
I convey my heartfelt condolences to their bereaved families. May the Almighty give them strength to go through their unexplainable shock and sorrow of losing their dear ones.
