The pre-dawn air strikes by the IAF at Balakot terror camps across the LoC on Tuesday have given "solace" to the families of four CRPF jawans from Punjab killed in Pulwana terror attack along with 36 others.
Darshan Singh, the father of CRPF jawan Kulwinder Singh of Rupnagar district expressed satisfaction over the Indian Air Force strikes at terror camp in Pakistan.
"It gave solace to the family," he said.
He, however, said had this action been taken before the Pulwama attack, the lives of 40 CRPF jawans would have been saved.
He said it is "very satisfying" that killers of his son were punished.
Harbhajan Kaur, mother of martyr Sukhjinder Singh from village Gandiwind from Tarn Taran said, Today the IAF's befitting reply has given relief to my heart. It is a suitable revenge by the Indian forces.
