Operation Sindoor : Special prayers held at Poonch gurdwara for those killed in Pak shelling

POONCH/JAMMU: (May 7) Special prayers were held at Gurdwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Thursday to pay homage to those killed in Pakistani shelling following Operation Sindoor.

Devotees gathered at the gurdwara to pray for peace and remember the victims, while condemning the attacks on civilian areas and religious places during the cross-border shelling.

Twelve people were killed and 34 others injured in artillery and mortar shelling in Poonch — the worst-hit border district — soon after India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7 last year. ( PTI )
