In a touching gesture, the DM of Bihar’s Sheikhpura district adopted the daughters of two CRPF jawaans who were martyred in the recent Pulwama attack that claimed the lives of at least 40 soldiers.

A bank account has also been opened in Sheikhpura so that people can donate money to help those in need after the attack.
