He added, “They are the families of the 40 brave hearts that lost their lives at Pulwama in a devastating bomb attack while they travelled in a convoy ..” (sic)

Big B revealed he sent his contribution through the CRPF seniors, and that the process to get the names and addresses took time, but was accomplished with the help of the Government of India.
“Another promise fulfilled ..I had wished to give some monetary gesture and consideration to the family .. I did .. The distribution is done under the aegis of the CRPF seniors, for the brave hearts were from the CRPF .. It took a while to get the names and addresses of those that lost their lives, but our efforts were fruitful, even when we had given the intention, and sought advice or indication of how I could help them .. Finally it came from the GOI as well as through personal account …It took a while," (sic) the actor wrote.

.. and for Pulwama the charity for some of the financial help, one individual be given in the sudden space for the reactions, and the others look on ..
How did we even tolerate the wishes and forms of they that had nothing at all .. but giving gives , a sudden relief , a sudden belief that there are those that think of them and do something to encourage, profess, to magically design the outcome ..” (sic)
Big B had announced in the aftermath of the terror attack that he will donate Rs 5 lakh to each of the families of the 40 martyrs of the attack.
