दिल्ली की रहने वाली बीरमती जी और प्रकाशी जी का अमरनाथ जी की यात्रा पर बादल फटने से स्वर्गवास हो गया। मैं अभी उनके परिवारों से मिला। हर परिवार को दस लाख रुपए की सहायता देंगे। उनके बच्चों को अच्छी शिक्षा का इंतज़ाम करेंगे। और जो भी मदद होगी करेंगे। भगवान उनकी आत्मा को शांति दें pic.twitter.com/ouDuu602YL
