"Beginning Of End Of Terror": Pahalgam Victims' Families On Op Sindoor
New Delhi: For the family of Maharashtra-based Atul Mone, who was shot dead in front of his wife and daughter in Pahalgam, Operation Sindoor spells the beginning of end of terror. When Mone's daughter found out about the strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir at 3 am, her faith in the government was reinstated, she told IANS. Another victim was Odisha's Prashant Satpathy, whose wife told reporters that the fight against terror should continue till terrorism is not wiped out. "Ghar mein ghus kar maarna chahiye (Enter their houses and eliminate them). My husband will never come back, but no one else's sindoor should get wiped out. No one should be left fatherless," Priyadarshini Acharya said. "I am elated because the terrorists will now understand the value of a human life and how precious it is. The sacrifice of my husband has not gone in vain," she said, maintaining that terrorists who killed innocent people in front of their families must live in fear if they, at all, have survived India's strike. Satpathy's younger brother Jayant said he has been waiting for the "revenge". "We do not need money, but revenge for our brother's killing. We are relieved today as the government acted as expected. All the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack must be punished," he said. Satpathy, 41, was an employee of the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology. He went to Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir with his wife and son on vacation. His nine-year-old son, Tanuj, completed his last rites on April 24. Sohini Adhikari, whose husband Bitan Adhikari was among the 26 civilians killed by terrorists in the Baisaran meadow, told NDTV, "The terror strike shows that the government took the action they had committed. I hope no one else ever has to see their husband being killed in cold blood in front of their child." Still coping with the trauma of seeing her father being shot down in front of her children, Kerala native N Ramachandran's daughter Arathy said the strike on terror would bring some relief to the families of those who died. She said the loss they suffered cannot be compensated by anyone, but Operation Sindoor seemed like a reply from the government and women of India. "Obviously, it is the apt name, but I don't think wiping the tears will happen. The loss, which had been inflicted, it won't be compensated. The title, 'Operation Sindoor', seems to be like a reply from the women of India through the army and the government," she said. Arathy also said she and her family are praying for the Army. "Let all Indians see a comfort in this operation. Let Operation Sindoor bring some comfort and relief to all the families of victims, including Himanshi (Narwal)," she added. Himanshi's husband was one of those killed in the terror attack, and a picture of her sitting beside his lifeless body with a crestfallen face turned out to be the defining image of the deadly incident.

Minor son lights funeral pyre of Prashant
Balasore: A traumatised nine-year-old Tanuj was dumbfounded, just following the directions of his elders, as he lit the funeral pyre of his father, Prashant Satpathy, on Thursday morning. Prashant's wife Priyadarshini was inconsolable, refusing to let relatives take the body to the crematorium and kept on hugging it as long as she could before fainting. Many of those waiting on the two sides of the road to the crematorium also broke down when they saw Tanuj throwing puffed rice while accompanying his father's body as per the ritual. Prashant, a native of Balasore district, was killed in the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on Tuesday. Hundreds of people from far and wide had gathered at Ishani village in Remuna block to pay their respects to Prashant. Among them was a physically challenged man who was close to Prashant. Though he came to the village on a specially designed three-wheeler, he crawled to the crematorium from Prashant's house as a mark of respect. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, Transport Minister Bibhuti Bhusan Jena and Balasore MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi were among those who accompanied Tanuj from his home to the crematorium, around a kilometre away. Amid chants of 'Jai Hind' and 'Prashant Satpathy Amar Rahe', Tanuj lit the funeral pyre of his father. Prashant's elder brother, Sushant, collapsed at the crematorium multiple times, watching the scenes in disbelief. The youngest of the three brothers, Jayant, said he would perform the nine-day rituals according to the customs, as Tanuj was too young to bear the pain of it all. Prashant, 41, was an employee of the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology. He went to Jammu and Kashmir with his wife and son on vacation. The mortal remains of Prashant Satpathy arrived in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday night. Apart from Prashant's wife Priyadarshani and son Tanuj, his younger brother Jayant and two other relatives -- Manoranjan Mohanty and Ratnashri Mohanty -- accompanied the body in the special flight that reached Bhubaneswar from Srinagar via New Delhi.
