The two martyred jawans were identified as Kundan Kumar Ojha of Sahibganj and Ganesh Hansda of Bahragora in East Singhbhum. Both the jawans were with 16 Bihar Regiment in the rank of sepoys.
साथ ही सीमा पर शहीद होने वाले वीरों के आश्रितों को जो सहायता सरकार दे रही है उसके साथ-साथ – शहीदों के आश्रितों को सरकार उनके पसंद के स्थान पर भूखण्ड देगी, तथा- भारत सरकार से शहीदों के आश्रितों को पेट्रोल पंप हेतु पेट्रोल पंप आवंटन नीति में प्रावधान करने हेतु भी आग्रह करेगी।
