Assam on Thursday paid its last respect to the body of six brave hearts two days after they lost their lives at the hands of Naxals in Chhattisgarh. Led by Assam director general of police Shankar Baruah, top ranked police and civil officials gathered at the Lok Priya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Borjhar and paid their last respect to the bodies after these were flown to the home state.
It is very sad news that 6 assam soldiers have lost their lifes fighting for the nation leaving their families nowhere . It seems that after the Dantewada incident central Govt, has deployed strengths in Naxal areas mobilising troops maximum from North East States. It is feared that more casualties to our men may result in near future.
