Pune: Ten months after her father's tragic death in a terror attack, Asawari Jagdale continues to wait for the Maharashtra government's promise of a state job. Her father, Santosh Jagdale, was one of 26 victims killed in the Pahalgam shooting last April.
Despite the state's announcement of Rs 50 lakh aid and job offers to victims' families, Asawari remains in limbo. She expressed frustration over the inaction, while BJP leader Navnath Ban pledged to raise the matter with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Facing financial strain, Asawari urges swift government action. Ban assured that the BJP supports the affected families and will press for justice. He emphasized Fadnavis's commitment to addressing their plight.
