NANDED (MAHARASHTRA): A black sheet of gloom descended over the Nanded district when the news about martyrdom of an Army jawan Sambhaji Yeshwant Kadam reached here today.
Kadam, who belonged to the 5 Maratha Light Infantry, was a resident of Janapuri village in Loha tehsil of the district. He is survived by his parents, wife and a three-year-old daughter.
Kadam was amongst the three Armymen who attained martyrdom when a group of five terrorists attacked in Jammu today in two separate incidents.
The first attack took place at Nagrota on the outskirts of Jammu City where terrorists, carrying guns and grenades, stormed into an Army camp, in which Kadam was killed. The attacks at the Army base and a BSF camp are the latest in a series of militant attacks after the September 29 surgical on seven terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) by the Indian Army.
Sarpanch of Janapuri village, Bali Patil, was informed about the incident. The mortal remains of Kadam will be brought to the city tomorrow by a plane either from Aurgangabad or directly to Nanded. (AGENCIES)
