Katrina and Adtiya, who were unaware of the matter until the media informed them about it, sounded concerned and said, “We will keep him in our prayers. Miracles like these keep our faith in the strength of humanity and we have to thank our army for making it happen.”
Deeply saddened by the death of 10 Indian Soldiers in the Siachen Avalanche Tragedy. My heartfelt condolences to the families of our heroes.
