At just 23 years old, Lieutenant Shashank Tiwari showed what true courage looks like. During an
operational patrol in North Sikkim, he risked his own life to save an Agniveer who had been swept away by a mountain stream. The rescue saved his fellow soldier, but Lt. Tiwari made the ultimate sacrifice in the process. His selfless act reflected the highest values of duty, brotherhood, and service. For his
extraordinary bravery, he was posthumously awarded the Kirti Chakra.
A soldier by duty, a hero by sacrifice, immortal in our hearts. ๐ฎ๐ณ
