Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu said a memorial would be built in memory of Indian Air Force (IAF) Corporal Tage Hailyang, one of 26 Indian and Nepalese citizens killed in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22.
Pema Khandu, who went to Hailyang home at Tajang village in Lower Subansiri district shortly after his mortal remains reached there, said his name will forever be etched in the history of Arunachal Pradesh as a symbol of valour and his sacrifice will inspire the generations to come.
The CM announced that his government would provide Hailyang’s family with financial assistance of Rs 50 lakh, in addition to a job for a member.
Hailyang, one of the 26 people killed in the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, will be laid to rest in his village on Friday.
Pema Khandu met the IAF Corporal’s wife, parents and family members and offered his condolences.
“The loss is beyond measure, and the people of Arunachal Pradesh stand in solidarity with the family during this time of profound sorrow,” he said.
