ZIRO, Apr 24: Chief Minister Pema Khandu today announced `50 lakhs and a government job for a family member of  late Corporal Tage Hailyang, who was among the 26 shot dead by terrorists at Baisaran near Pahalgam in Kashmir on April 22.
Khandu, who visited late Hailyang’s native village Tajang in Ziro, Lower Subansiri this morning, paid floral tributes to the mortal remains of the late airman and consoled the grieving family members and relatives.
He also announced that the state government will construct a permanent memorial of late Hailyang in the village.
“In the face of grave danger, Tage Hailyang demonstrated exceptional courage. He had the chance to escape but chose instead to protect those around him. Risking his own life, he guided civilians to safety, helping them escape the line of fire. His selflessness in that critical moment stands as a rare and inspiring act of bravery,” said Khandu.
Offering his deepest condolences, Khandu said that the loss is beyond measure, and the people of Arunachal Pradesh stand in solidarity…
