Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister on Wednesday (June 17) announced to provide Rs 5 lakh along with a West Bengal government job to one member of the families of two Jawans from West Bengal that were killed in action in the Galwan Valley (Ladakh) on June 15 night.
CM Mamata took to Twitter and said, “My heartfelt condolences to the families of the brave men martyred at Galwan Valley. I’m at pain to say that two of them belonged to West Bengal— Sepoy Rajesh Orang (Vill Belgoria, PS Md Bazar, Birbhum) & Bipul Roy on General Duty (Vill Bindipara, PS Samuktala, Alipurduar)”
