    May his soul rest in peace.

    Its been 3 months and sadly our Defence Ministry and Media is SILENT about the missing plane.

    what kind of a "powerful" force do we have when we cannot trace our missing troops?

    SAD and DISAPPOINTED!!!

    Its very sad to see this kind of situation, where the family even if not wanting to accept is forced to accept the fact as there are no clues to what happened to the ill fated airplane. I pray in god to rest the soul in peace if our soldiers have really dead.
