On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the family of Shubham Dwivedi, a victim of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, at the Chakeri Airport in Kanpur. Shubham, a 31-year-old businessman, was among the 26 individuals who lost their lives in the attack on April 22.

Sanjay Dwivedi, Shubham's father, expressed gratitude for the government's response, highlighting that an operation against terrorism was initiated, targeting terrorist sites in Pakistan.

Sanjay Dwivedi emphasized that the entire community stands united with the Prime Minister in the fight against terrorism. Modi reassured them that the battle against terrorism would continue. The Prime Minister appeared emotional during the meeting.

Aishanya Dwivedi, Shubham's wife, shared that Modi expressed his condolences and assured them that the entire nation and government are with them. He inquired about the details of the Pahalgam attack and reiterated that the fight against terrorism is far from over, promising another meeting in the future.

Background of the Tragic Incident

Shubham Dwivedi had recently married on February 12 of this year and was visiting Pahalgam with his wife and family when the terrorists opened fire on tourists, leading to his tragic death. A week prior, Ramesh Awasthi, a Member of Parliament from Kanpur, had written to the Prime Minister's Office requesting Modi to meet Shubham's family.

During his visit to Uttar Pradesh, Modi is also set to inaugurate several development projects aimed at enhancing infrastructure and connectivity in the region, including the Kanpur Metro Rail project, which involves an investment of over ₹2,120 crores.
