“Mukesh had left almost five months back with a promise that he would return on Karva Chauth. He kept his promise. The only difference is, this time he arrived in a coffin,” stated Kushma Kumar (38), spouse of Mukesh Kumar Singh, a migrant labourer from Uttar Pradesh, who was killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Monday.
Mukesh Singh, a local of Unnao’s Bhatpura village, was shot useless in the Rajpura space of Pulwama at round 12.45 pm on Monday. “Terrorists fired upon one labourer identified as Mukesh of UP in the Tumchi Nowpora area of Pulwama, who later succumbed to his injuries. Area cordoned off. Further details shall follow,” Kashmir Zone Police stated on social media web site X on October 30.
Officials with the Unnao district administration stated that after finishing all formalities together with post-mortem, the physique of the deceased was introduced again late on Tuesday night.
Mukesh’s loss of life has left Kushma and their 4 kids in a state of shock. “Why Mukesh? What was his fault? Why did the terrorists target only him? What will happen to the family? How will Nisha get married? How will the family expenses be met?” Kushma has many questions in her thoughts, however there isn’t a one who can reply them.
Mukesh is survived by his spouse and 4 kids—daughters Nisha (19) and Khushi (12), and sons Pankaj (14) and Ankush (9).
Kushma says that Mukesh’s dream to see Nisha get married stays unfulfilled. “I don’t know what to do, whom to approach, how to manage things. I don’t have anyone and have no money. I am still finding it hard to believe that Mukesh is no more,” stated an inconsolable Kushma.
Until 5 months in the past, she stated, Mukesh used to work as an agricultural labourer in his village. “But even after working for almost 10 to 12 hours a day, he would earn Rs 150 to Rs 250, which was too little to meet the expenses of the family of five,” she added.
Kushma stated some residents from her village had been already working in Pulwama as labourers, and Mukesh thought of becoming a member of them to earn extra. “We all tried to stop him but he was adamant that he would go to Kashmir to earn more money for the family. Mukesh’s dream was to get Nisha married and to give a good education to his children. Who will take care of his dreams now?” she stated.
A pall of gloom has descended upon Bhatpura village ever because the information of Mukesh’s killing in J&Ok arrived. The villagers stated that Mukesh was a superb one that had no dispute with anybody. They are nonetheless discovering it laborious to imagine that the terrorists killed Mukesh for no cause.
On Wednesday night, on the eve of Karva Chauth–the competition celebrated by Hindu girls, who observe fasts for the security and lengthy lives of their husbands–Mukesh’s physique was introduced to the village. His stays had been cremated in the presence of the district administration and police. “Mukesh’s body was cremated during the late evening hours of Wednesday,” stated Suresh Kumar Singh, station home officer (SHO), Asoha police station, Unnao.
