With candles in their hands, people across the national capital stood at Connaught Place on Sunday evening to pay tribute to the 40 CRPF soldiers who died in a car bombing in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama on Thursday.

People walked together in silence to remember those who lost their lives to the terror attack, claimed by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed. They were seen holding national flags and posters with the names of all the 40 CRPF personnel.

Over 40 countries have condemned the Pulwama attack.

Union Minister Arun Jaitley, too, tweeted that the terrorists "will be given unforgettable lesson for their heinous act".
