MAY 14: J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today visited Uri to meet those affected by the recent cross-border shelling.
CM Omar said, “Over the past few days, I’ve witnessed immense pain, loss, and unimaginable courage of our people. These visits should have been to share joy, to speak of development — not to offer condolences. The pain of my people is deeply personal.”
CM visited shelling-affected areas of Uri including Salamabad, Lagama, Bandi and Gingal.
He said, “This land has endured so much — from the impact of the 2005 earthquake to the pain of cross-border shelling. Yet, its people rise every time, with courage in their hearts and resilience in their spirit.”
CM Omar Abdullah met the family of Nargis Begum, who lost her life in the recent shelling in Uri.
Omar Abdullah said, “No words can express the depth of their grief or the magnitude of this tragedy. I pray they find the strength to bear this irreparable loss. We stand with them in this hour of grief.”
