On Saturday, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma paid tribute to the 40 CRPF personnel who lost their lives in the Pulwama terror attack on this day in 2019. Speaking with reverence, Sarma emphasized the enduring nature of their sacrifice, asserting that 'The sacrifice of our brave jawans in Pulwama will never be forgotten.'
