Jammu:Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Jammu on Friday to meet the families of those killed in the terror attack in Rajouri. Shah was received at Jammu Airport by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. Shah, however, could not arrive in Rajouri due to bad weather, and thus, he interacted with the families through video conference, which lasted for about seven minutes.
Expressing sympathy for the bereaved families, Shah assured the arrest of the accused as soon as possible. "The people, who died in the attack will always live in our hearts," said Shah while interacting with the families. The Home Minister's visit comes in the wake of twin terror attacks in Rajouri, which left seven people dead.
