Arunachal’s IAF Corporal Tage Hailyang: Corporal Hailyang’s death has left his home state and the armed forces community in deep mourning.
In a devastating terror attack that has shaken the nation, Indian Air Force Corporal Tage Hailyang, a native of Tajang village in Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, was among the 28 victims killed in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22.
The brave airman was on vacation with his wife, who survived the incident.
Hailing from the Lower Subansiri district, Corporal Hailyang’s death has left his home state and the armed forces community in deep mourning. His mortal remains will be flown from Srinagar to Guwahati and then airlifted by helicopter to his hometown Ziro, where final rites will be held.
Speaking to Northeast Live, Hailyang’s brother, Tagi Mali, said, “I reached Srinagar last night after my brother’s wife called to inform me about the attack. They were on a holiday trip. I rushed to Pahalgam immediately.”
