Amidst news that there have been fresh firing and explosions near the Pathankot Airbase, which was attacked yesterday by Pakistan-based militants, we are slowly recognising the heroes who laid down their lives to fight off the infiltrators and uphold the nation's pride.
According to multiple agencies, the martyrs included a Garud Commando from IAF, 5 personnel of the Defence Security Corps (DSC) and an NSG personnel. We think it's our duty their memory while their sacrifice helped us breathe a sigh of relief.
Here's are the men you need to know about:
1. Lt Col Niranjan of NSG:
The latest casualty of the event. This young soldier died in the IED blast during combing operations at Pathankot Air Base today.
A Lieutenant Colonel of the National Security Guard, Niranjan Kumar, died this morning during combing operations. Mr Kumar, a resident of Kerala and a member of the bomb disposal squad, was defusing the grenade during the combing operations.
2. Capt Fateh Singh of DSC:
He was part of Army's Marksmanship Unit in Mhow for many years, joined the Defense Security Corps (DSC) after retiring from the Army as a Subedar Major. Till last year, Singh was posted in Mhow under Dogra Regiment and was transferred to Pathankot later.
3.Corporal Gursewak Singh, A Garud Commando:
He died in while protecting the base from the terrorist.
4. Hawaldar Kulwant Singh of DSC
Another braveheart who fought off the attackers who allegedly used the same route to enter India and conduct the attacks as the Gurudaspur attackers.
5.Hawaldar Jagdish
While not much information exists about Hawildar Jagdish, the IAF in a press conference just confirmed his name as one of the first Jawans to take on the terrorists. Hawildar Jagdish was working in the kitchen as a cook when the terrorists attacked.
He chased the terrorists apparently bare-handed and managed to kill one of the terrorists there itself with his own rifle. He later fell to the bullets of the remaining terrorists.
We await further updates from the authorities and will keep updating the list as soon as the remaining martyrs are identified.
