The family of the victims who lost their lives in the devastating Pahalgam terror attack hailed Operation Sindoor and thanked the Indian military for taking action following the attack. While speaking to ANI, the grief-stricken kin of Pahalgam victims expressed appreciation for the Indian government for avenging their loss.
In the early hours of Wednesday, India conducted a tri-service mission called and struck nine terror camps in Pakistan. The operation was conducted as a response to the Pahalgam terror attack, in which Pakistani terrorists had their hands.

Asavari Jagdale, daughter of the slain victim Santosh Jagdale, who was killed by terrorists on April 22, told ANI that losing husbands and fathers to many was not left in vain. She insisted that India has paid genuine homage to the victims and served justice.
'We got calls from our relatives (about Operation Sindoor). India has avenged the Pahalgam attack through these air strikes. I was extremely emotional after hearing the name (Sindoor) of the mission. When Amit Shah came to Srinagar to pay homage to those who were given 'veer maran', the sisters who lost their husbands were pleading. I think this is why such a name has been attributed to the operation,' Jagdale said.
'The loss of husbands and fathers was not left in vain. India has paid actual homage to them (victims) by striking. I want to thank you for the justice served within 15 days,' she added. It is pertinent to note that India has carried out its deepest strikes inside Pakistan's undisputed territory since 1971. Hence, it marks New Delhi's most significant action in Pakistan territory in 5 decades.
Kin of victims speak out
For the families of the victims of the Pahalgam attack, these strikes were seen as justice being delivered.
Manoj Dwivedi, a relative of one of the victims, said that justice had been finally served to the victims. 'On 22nd April, when our child lost his life, we said that a revolution is going to come in our country. We were sure that PM Modi would take the strictest steps to finish terrorism. I want to thank PM Modi for the real tribute that the Army has given today to our son,' the relative told ANI.

Meanwhile, locals in Jammu were seen chanting slogans like 'Indian Army Zindabad' and 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', applauding the Indian Army. 'It was very important for the government to give a response to the attack made by Pakistan. We are really thankful to the government and the Indian Army,' a local told ANI.
Asha Narwal, mother of Indian Navy Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, who lost his life in the Pahalgam terror attack, also lauded the Indian army. 'My whole family is with Modi Sahab, who has taken revenge today. I want to tell the Armed Forces personnel to keep moving forward. Today, a tribute has been paid to all those who lost their lives,' she told local reporters.
Pragati Jagdale, wife of Santosh Jagdale, who was killed in the Pahalgam terror attack, said: 'Modi ji has shown Pakistan that we will not sit quietly. I feel, with #OperationSindoor, PM Modi will end terrorism.'
In the Wednesday strike, the I ndian forces selected the targets with the intent of eliminating top Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks in India.
