Arunachal CM announces Rs 50‑lakh ex‑gratia, job for kin of Airman slain in Kashmir terror attack

Itanagar, Apr 24 (UNI) Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday announced Rs 50 lakh as ex‑gratia assistance and a state government job for a member of the family of Late Corporal Tage Hailyang, the Indian Air Force airman killed in the April 22 terrorist attack at Baisaran near Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives.
Visiting Late Hailyang’s native Tajang village, Ziro in Lower Subansiri district, Khandu paid floral tributes to the mortal remains of the late airman and consoled the grieving family members and relatives. He also announced that the government will build a permanent memorial in the village to honour Hailyang’s bravery.
“In the face of grave danger, Corporal Tage Hailyang demonstrated exceptional courage. He had the chance to escape but chose instead to protect those around him. Risking his own life, he guided civilians to safety, helping them escape the line of fire. His selflessness in that critical moment stands as a rare and inspiring act of bravery,” said Khandu.
Offering his deepest condolences, he said that the loss is beyond measure, and the people of Arunachal Pradesh stand in solidarity with the family during this time of profound sorrow.
Condemning the heinous act of terrorism, Khandu observed that Pakistan’s continued sheltering of terrorist elements is a grave threat to global peace and called for resolute action.
“I appreciate the firm stand of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and am confident that under his leadership, the nation will respond with the strength and resolve that such a grave sacrifice demands,” he said.
He further said that late Hailyang’s inspiring journey - from his early education in Ziro and Haryana’s Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram - to his graduation from Don Bosco College, Itanagar, and his dedicated service in the Indian Air Force since 2017, is a shining testament to the strength, discipline, and patriotism of the state’s youth.
“Late Tage Hailyang’s legacy will endure. His name will forever be etched in the history of Arunachal Pradesh as a symbol of valour, and his sacrifice will continue to inspire generations to come,” Khandu added.
