Sources told Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the superstar donated Rs 1 crore for the construction of a school building after he visited Neeru village in the afternoon.

People in the area welcomed Kumar with roaring applause and cheers. He spent some quality time with children and locals and clicked pictures with them.

"Spent a memorable day with the @BSF_India bravehearts guarding the borders today. Coming here is always a humbling experience… meeting the real heroes Heart suit My heart is filled with nothing but respect,"he wrote.(SAM)
