About the incident a CRPF official in the capital was quoted saying, “Troops of A/E 219 battalion were on a road opening duty and providing security for road construction in the area when they were ambushed. The ambush was followed up by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack,” reports HT. About Akshay Kumar’s contribution TOI reports that the 49-year-old actor was in touch with IPS Officer Amit Lodha, DIG of Jaisalmer sector north. The IPS officer revealed to the daily, “Akshay himself has been in touch with me and he keeps enquiring about incidents and when I told him about the Sukma incident he immediately told me he would like to contribute and do his bit for the families of the martyred jawans, we are all grateful to him for this kind gesture.”
We respect what Akshay Kumar is doing for the families of the martyred jawans. In the past Akshay has donated Rs. 50 lakh for Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyaan and a crore towards flood relief operations in Chennai.
