Last week, the Indian army was attacked by a terrorist group called Jaish-e-Mohammad in the Pulwama district of Jammu & Kashmir. Forty Indian Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans were martyred and several others injured. Several non-government organisations and government organisations have come forward to help the families of the martyred and make donations for the same. If you too want to contribute to it, here are two ways in which you can directly donate to families of the soldiers martyred at the Pulwama terror attack.
1. Bharat Ke Veer
The official website set up by the government to help the families, Bharat Ke Veer is actually the brainchild of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and is supported by actor Akshay Kumar. You can directly donate to an individual braveheart’s account or the Bharat Ke Veer corpus. Click here to direct to the website.
2. PayTm
Just like they did during the Kerala floods, Paytm has once again added an option on the home page called ‘CRPF Bravehearts’ that lets you donate whatever you want directly to the families.
