2 CRPF jawans from TN among 40 killed in Kashmir;both resumed

G Subramanian and C Sivachandran, the two CPRF personnel killed in the Pulawama terror attack, had returned to their camps barely five days ago after spending about a month's leave in their home state Tamil Nadu.

News about their deaths came as a shock to their families.

Both the young men had spoken to their spouses only hours before they were killed in the terror attack.

Subramanian, who belonged to Savalaperi, had joined CRPF in 2014 and was posted in Uttar Pradesh and in Chennai before being moved to Jammu and Kashmir, a family member said.

He got married in 2017.

The jawan had come home on a long leave last month for Pongal festival and returned to his camp only on February 10, he said.

Krishnaveni, Subramanian's wife, said her husband had sustained injuries following stone pelting in Kashmir months after her marriage.

"But he did not disclose it. He will never reveal such hazards he faced in the line of duty as we will be upset," she told Tamil Television channel 'Puthiya Thalaimurai.'
Sivachandran's father Chinnayan sobbed, saying "he went to save the nation, but could not protect his family."
