Visiting the families in Londi and Kanna Chak, the minister said the policemen’s wives will get a government job each under SRO provisions.

“In addition to these immediate measures, a proposal will be moved to rename government schools after the martyrs as a lasting tribute to their sacrifice,” he said.

Singh was in Odisha at the time of the encounter in which two policemen from his parliamentary constituency were killed.

He visited their families before heading to Majalta in Udhampur district, where he will lay the foundation stone for a new bridge.

“This project aims to enhance connectivity and improve infrastructure in the region, reflecting the government’s commitment to development and public welfare,” he said.

Singh said the country was grateful to its security forces as he paid his tributes to the fallen men.

“Two sons of Kathua district were martyrs… I came here to offer my condolences to their families. These are families who have not only defended the motherland for generations but have also made great sacrifices,” he told reporters.

“One such family had even received the Victoria Cross for bravery during the British era,” he said.

“Jaswant’s wife is an MA-BEd, and Balwinder’s wife has completed her 12th grade. Suitable jobs will be provided accordingly.

“As a Member of Parliament, I announce the construction of memorials for both martyrs. Additionally, as has been done before, some schools will be named in their honour, we will propose it,” he said.
