'Saw Him Lying Down, Struggling to Save His Life'

“I have a baby who just turned 6 months today," said 32-year-old Salima Marei, wife of 37-year-old Abdur Rahaque Mareimayum.

"On that day, we took him to the doctor, and while we were returning, there was heavy gunfire, so we scattered. After the firing was over, I saw my husband lying down, struggling to save his life. After that, I can't remember anything that happened."

Marei went on to narrate that her eldest daughter is 12 years old, while her other daughters are 10, seven, and 6 months old."

Having lost my husband, the sole breadwinner, who will take care of us now. The government should support us," she concluded, breaking into tears.
