General Officer Commanding of the 'Ace of Spades' division of the Indian Army, Major General Kaushik Mukherjee, has inaugurated a new War Memorial with the names of Poonch civilians who died due to cross-border shelling by Pakistan at the time of Operation Sindoor.

The war memorial has been constructed by the Durga Battalion of the Poonch Brigade at the Ajote War Memorial in Poonch.

Japneet Kaur, a resident of Poonch, whose father died in the cross-border shelling by Pakistan, told ANI that it was her wish to see all those who died in the cross-border shelling be given the status of martyrs.
