Seven of the army men belonged to Himachal Pradesh.
"The state government has decided to provide all possible help, including financial assistance, to family members of those army men who were killed in Manipur.

Thakur said out of seven army men from Himachal Pradesh "two army personnel were from my constituency (Darang)".
