The entire country has been jolted out of its reverie after one of the biggest and most dastardly attacks that took place on Indian CRPF jawans on February 14 in Pulwama, when a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle full of explosives into a convoy carrying Indian soldiers. Today, the government retaliated by doing a surgical strike on the terror camps of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
Following the Pulwama attack, the Indian government, as well as several celebrities from Bollywood, came forward to help the families of the martyrs. Now, joining them is legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar who is donating Rs 1 crore to the Indian Army.
