According to him, Hailyang joined the IAF 8-9 years ago following graduation in humanities. He said the mortal remains would be flown to Guwahati in an aircraft and from there, taken to Arunachal in a helicopter. When reports last came in, the body was still in Srinagar. Arunachal Chief Minister Pema Khandu mourned the death.“Deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Corporal Tage Hailyang of the Indian Air Force, a brave son of Arunachal Pradesh who hailed from Tajang village in Lower Subansiri. While visiting Pahalgam with his wife, his life was cruelly taken in a senseless act of terror,” Khandu posted on X.“He served the nation with courage and honour, and his untimely death is a great loss not only to his family but to the entire country. Our thoughts are with his loved ones, especially his wife who survived this horrific incident. May they find strength and solace in this unimaginable time of grief. We will always remember Corporal Hailyang for his service and sacrifice,” he further wrote.
