"My deepest condolences to all the families who lost their sons, brothers and fathers - 'They are True Sons of This Soil'. They displayed courage and strength of an ultimate kind while protecting our borders without any fear," said Sanjay Ghodawat, President - Sanjay Ghodawat Foundation.
"We are deeply aghast with this incident but at the same time feel proud of them who made this supreme sacrifice to protect the interests of our nation at the LAC. Our Group stands by all the martyrs' families and the entire country in these difficult times," added Sanjay.
