Sule demands job assurance to Pahalgam attack victim's kin be implemented immediately
Criticising the Mahayuti-led state government for 'merely giving an assurance' to the kin of a Pahalgam terror attack victim, NCP(SP) working president Supriya Sule on Friday urged the government to implement the assurance of job to Aswari Jagdale in Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), daughter of victim Santosh Jagdale. 'We had demanded a job to Asawari citing that the sole earning member of the family Santosh Jagdale was killed. The chief minister had assured us of the job but has not implemented it till now,' said Sule. The NCP(SP) leader said, 'Asawari is highly qualified and will be given a government job in PMC. The state government should implement its assurance.' Sule, who held a discussion with PMC officers on civic issues, highlighted the fatal road accidents taking place on city roads including the one at Gangadham chowk. 'The PMC needs to act fast in resolving civic issues that are costing lives of citizens. The water pollution in Khadakwasla dam is another serious issue which the civic body will resolve fast,' she said, adding the road conditions in the city and water logging is causing inconvenience to citizens. The NCP (SP) working president said the delimitation process for PMC elections have started as per state government decision. 'We want it to be a transparent process which is based on a standard formula and not as per the imagination of any person,' she said. Sule said that the state government is planning to recover the property tax from residents of newly merged 32 villages despite assurance of no recovery ahead of Lok Sabha and state assembly elections. 'They seem to be least bothered about promises after the elections. The PMC has not yet provided any services in these areas, so why should they recover property tax?,' she added. The NCP(SP) leader said she was shocked by the closure of Sarasbaug by PMC on the alleged demand of a BJP MP to avoid the muslim community from celebrating Eid in the garden. 'I wasn't aware of this. It is shocking. If I was told earlier I would have got it opened. I will ensure it is not repeated next year,' she said. On the ongoing indefinite hunger strike by former legislator Bachu Kadu, Sule said that the NCP(SP) has extended support to Kadu as he is justified in seeking justice for farmers who are in distress. 'The Mahayuti has assured complete loan waiver to farmers but has not taken any decision so far. The farmers are suffering with their hard work going in vain due to heavy rain across the state,' she said, adding that the legislator has been asked to take care of his health.

Real tribute, justice to those killed in Pahalgam attack, say families of victims
Pune: Family members of the victims killed in last month's terror attack in Pahalgam have welcomed India's recent cross-border strikes in Pakistan, calling it a strong and timely response. Asavari Jagdale, daughter of Santosh Jagdale, who was killed in the Pahalgam terror attack, speaks to the media on the success of Operation Sindoor in Pune on Wednesday. Family members of victims killed in the attack have welcomed India's recent cross-border strikes in Pakistan, calling it a strong and timely response. (ANI) For the families, Operation Sindoor symbolises more than just a military retaliation — it reflects India's commitment to delivering justice for those who lost their lives in the attack. Asavari Jagdale, whose father Santosh Jagdale was among the victims from Pune, said the naming of the operation moved her to tears. 'I couldn't stop crying when I heard the name 'Sindoor'. It feels like a real tribute to those who were taken from us. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has avenged their deaths, and the name of the operation itself speaks volumes. It felt like a message to those who erased the 'sindoor' of so many women,' she said. Hindu women put 'sindoor' (vermilion) on their head as symbol of marriage. Asavari 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 for the justice served within 15 days,' she said. Kunal Ganbote, whose father Kaustubh Ganbote was also killed, said the strike offered a sense of closure. 'We were all waiting for this kind of response, and we trusted the Indian government to act. Naming the operation Sindoor shows respect to women like my mother,' he said. Kaustubh's wife, Sangita said, 'The action taken by the military is good, and by naming it as Operation Sindoor, they have respected the women. I still cry on some days. We were waiting for PM Modi to take such action, and he has given them a befitting reply. Terrorists should be eliminated.' Kaustubh, a well-known farsan (snacks) trader with businesses in Kondhwa and Rasta Peth areas of Pune, was one of six tourists from Maharashtra who died in the April 22 attack, which claimed 26 lives — the most severe such incident since Pulwama in 2019. Two of the six tourists were from Pune. Operation Sindoor, carried out on Wednesday, marked India's deepest strike inside Pakistan's territory since the 1971 war. Sources said Modi closely monitored the situation overnight, with all nine intended targets successfully hit.

'Justice has been served': Kin of Pahalgam attack victims hail Operation Sindoor
Families of the victims of the devastating Pahalgam terror attack lauded the Indian military for conducting 'Operation Sindoor' against the terrorist targets in Pakistan read more 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. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 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. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 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. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and method of execution,' the Ministry of Defence said in a statement. With inputs from ANI.
