Indomitable courage rewarded
On 5 Nov 2024, acting on credible inputs, 3 Bn @crpfindia, 26 Assam Rifles, and @JmuKmrPolice launched a swift joint operation against heavily armed foreign terrorists in Bandipora, J&K.
Amidst indiscriminate fire, Ct/GD Saddam Hussain (3 Bn CRPF) displayed nerves of steel. With complete disregard for personal safety, he moved closer to the hostile target, firing precision UBGL rounds from just 25 meters to neutralize a terrorist.
For his indomitable courage and gallant action under fire, Ct/GD Saddam Hussain has been conferred the Shaurya Chakra today by the President of India.
