Punjab’s Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Friday announced a compensation of ₹ 50 lakh and a government job to a family member of Late Havildar Kuldeep Singh of the Sikh Light Infantry Regiment who was martyred on Thursday as Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violations at multiple places along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir.
Kuldeep Singh laid down his life fighting valiantly for the country and the grateful nation will always remember his supreme sacrifice which would act as an inspiration for the future generations. Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said as he paid tribute to the late soldier and extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
Late Kuldeep Singh’s father, Mohan Singh, had retired from the Army as Honorary Captain and had served in the Sikh Light Infantry Regiment as well. The soldier’s three brothers are currently serving in the same regiment. He belonged to Raju Dwakhri village in Hoshiarpur and had his parents, wife, a daughter (10) and a son (8) to look after.
Two soldiers were killed and four were injured in an unprovoked ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Naugam sector on Thursday.
