"As many as 17 newborn girls born in a span of two days -- on May 10 and 11 -- in Kushinagar Medical College have been named Sindoor by their family members," Principal Dr RK Shahi told PTI on Monday.
Twenty-six people, mostly tourists, were killed and several injured when terrorists opened fire at Baisaran meadow near the popular tourist town of Pahalgam in south Kashmir's Anantnag district on April 22.
Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 to destroy nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack.
