On behalf of a grieving nation, we extend our deepest condolences on the tragic loss of eight precious lives in the recent helicopter crash. This heartbreaking event has cast a shadow over our country, leaving an irreplaceable void in the hearts of their families, colleagues, and the entire nation.
The departed were dedicated men and women whose service, sacrifice, and commitment to duty reflected the highest ideals of patriotism and professionalism. Their lives stood as a testament to courage and loyalty, and their untimely passing is not only a loss to their loved ones, but to our collective national family.
To the bereaved families, we share in your pain and stand in solidarity with you during this time of deep sorrow. May you draw strength from the prayers, love, and support of the entire nation. Your loved ones will be remembered not for the way they left us, but for the remarkable way they lived and served.

May the Almighty grant eternal rest to the souls of the departed and comfort to all who mourn them.
Rest in peace, gallant heroes.
