Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party today felicitated the two youth who helped capture a Pakistani terrorist in Udhampur.
The political outfit bestowed them with its 'Panthers Bravery Award' and also gave a cash reward of Rs 21,000 each for their courage.
JKNPP described the youths-- Vikramjeet and Rakesh Kumar-- as "pride of Dogras".
JKNPP chief Balwant Singh Mankotia gave the award at a function held here.
Singh said that the youth have become a source of inspiration for the entire young fraternity as he condemned the act of terror of any kind.
The JKNPP president also appealed to the state government to provide them regular jobs in police.
Vikramjeet and Rakesh also briefed the media about the whole episode.
Rakesh said that he caught the militant by neck and his partner Vikramjeet snatched AK-47 rifle from the militant before overpowering him.
