Lieutenant Colonel Abjit Singh Sekhon,
Vir Chakra (P),
Commanding Officer 7 MADRAS
Lt Col Sekhon laid down his life leading from the front- fighting the LTTE, #OnThisDay 21 April in 1988 in Sri Lanka, during #OpPawan
Lt Col Sekhon, CO 7 Madras, was deployed in Sri Lanka as a part of the Indian Peace Keeping Force.
On 13 April 1988, he received information about the location of an arms cache at a place called Vannerikulam as also the presence of some hard-core militants.
He exercised imagination and calculated risk and approached the target areas in vehicles along a hitherto unmapped and sparsely used tract. He reached his target areas undetected and completely surprised the militants. In this action, Lt Col Sekhon who was guiding the column killed two hard-core militants one of whom was found to be the Area Leader.
Again on 21 April 1988, when information was received about the presence of 10 to 14 militants in village Urithirapuram, he gathered two platoons and along with another officer, personally led the column to the site of the militants.
The party came under intense fire from the militants.
He jumped out of his vehicle and despite the intense militant fire, organized his party and returned the fire. He personally shot dead one militant and wounded another. It was at this stage of the encounter that Lt Col Sekhon was hit by a militant’s bullet through the chest and he fell on the spot.
Throughout the operation, Lt Col Sekhon displayed gallantry and valour in the face of militants and made the supreme sacrifice.
Remember the gallant #IndianBrave, always 🏵️

On this day in 1948, Wing Commander Sidney Basil Noronha was awarded the Mahavir Chakra for exceptional gallantry.
He took command of No. 7 Squadron at a critical juncture in 1947. Leading from the front during operations in Jammu & Kashmir, he flew over 37 sorties in close support of the Indian Army, striking enemy strongholds under intense and adverse conditions.
His fearless determination, brilliant leadership, and unwavering devotion to duty set a benchmark of courage that continues to inspire.
