India's midnight operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor, has been hailed by the family members of the deceased who died during the Pahalgam attack

As news broke of India's overnight military retaliation targeting terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the families of three West Bengal residents killed in the recent Pahalgam terror attack expressed a mix of grief, gratitude, and renewed calls for justice.

Indian Army's midnight operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor, is being hailed by many as a decisive counter-strike. According to defense sources, nine terror launch pads were destroyed using precision missile strikes. This came days after militants attacked Indian civilians in the Pahalgam region of Jammu and Kashmir, killing several, including three tourists from West Bengal.

In Kolkata's Behala, the widow of Sameer Guha, one of the victims, broke down as she thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Army. "We went there for a holiday. I saw my husband killed in front of my eyes. This pain will never leave me. But I am thankful to the Prime Minister for responding. I only hope this never happens to another family. I also want killers, who unleashed terror attacks on innocent tourists, to be arrested and given severe punishment," she said, battling tears.
