#LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 the gallant #IndianBrave Commando Havldar Ram Shankar Singh, of 51 Special Action Group, @nsgblackcats, who made the Supreme Sacrifice #OnThisDay 29 April in 1985, fighting Anti National elements during #OpDragNet in Punjab. Remember 🏵️
#LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 Major Viney Chaudhary, Shaurya Chakra (P), 13 PUNJAB, led his men in an anti-terror operation, eliminated three terrorists and injured another two before laying down his life #OnThisDay 29 April in 1999 at #Pulwama, J&K
Maj Chaudhary who had developed an intricate intelligence network in and around Pulwama district in Kashmir Valley, received a reliable input from the battalion headquarters about the presence of terrorists in Takia village.
He was also tasked to conduct a cordon and search operation to flush out terrorists. The officer immediately led his column and established tight cordon around the clusters of houses by 3:00 pm.
By excellent marksmanship, Major Chaudhary shot down the terrorist who was firing at the cordon. In the ensuing fire fight, Maj Chaudhary crawled to a position of advantage under covering fire from his men and shot down the second militant.
The Maj, while inching forward for the third terrorist, received gunshot wound in his right thigh. Disregarding his injury, and sensing threat to his comrades, he charged towards the house and shot the third terrorist at point blank range.
But in the fire fight, he, too, was fatally injured and succumbed to his injuries even before his evacuation to the hospital.
During the encounter with the most dreaded terrorists, for his indomitable courage, dogged determination and inspirational leadership in the line of fire, Major Viney Chaudhary was awarded the Shaurya Chakra, posthumously
Remember the #IndianBrave - his service, valour and supreme sacrifice for the Nation. 🏵️

#LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 Major Lalson Varghese, 42 ARMD REGT/ 14 RASHTRIYA RIFLES made the supreme sacrifice fighting in a counter-insurgency Op at Bandipora, J&K #OnThisDay 24 April in 2003

He was not even 21 years old when he led his team and made the supreme sacrifice at Hilkaka, J&K
#LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 Paratrooper Sanjog Chhetri, Ashoka Chakra (P), #BravestOfTheBrave, 9 PARA (SF) who made the supreme sacrifice #OnThisDay 22 April in 2003 during Op Sarp Vinash
On 22 April 2003, Ptr Chhetri led a team of 20 commandos in carrying out operations in the terrorist location at Hill Kaka in J&K.
After a long and arduous approach to the target area, at first light, the entire troop comprising 20 personnel drew a heavy volume of effective automatic fire from three directions from a terrorist hideout located above, thereby pinning the entire troop down for approximately 30 minutes.
Sensing that any further delay in neutralising the terrorist's fire would cause heavy casualties to own troops, Ptr Chhetri broke cover and lobbed two grenades towards the terrorists thereby disrupting their fire. He started crawling up a steep incline towards the terrorists.
Meanwhile, the terrorists re-grouped and re- commenced their effective fire. By now, Ptr Chhetri had run out of hand grenades. However, he managed to reach a flank and from that position he charged at and killed two terrorists. This took the other terrorists by surprise and they directed their entire fire on Ptr Chhetri.
This facilitated the balance of the troops to extricate themselves from the pinning fire of the terrorists and maneuver itself to a position of advantage.
Undeterred by the concentrated firing of the terrorists and with an utter disregard for his personal safety, Ptr Chhetri continued to close in with the terrorists and killed one more terrorist at point blank range.
In this action, he sustained multiple gun shot wounds to which he succumbed subsequently.
The commando team inspired by this act of valour, went on to eliminate 13 terrorists and apprehended one alive, and recovered a large amount of arms, ammunition and explosives.
For his bravery, Ptr Chhetri was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra.
Remember the gallant #IndianBrave - his service, valour and supreme sacrifice for the Nation. 🏵️
Remembering our Hero
Capt Premjit Rockpa
Shaurya Chakra (P)
9 Para
on his birth anniversary today.
Premjit Rockpa, was born on 18thApril, 1951 to Late Shri Chhering Tandup and Late Smt Gurudassi, in a remote village of Ghoshal, in Lahaul & Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. He had one brother and five sisters. He did his schooling from the primary school in his village. Later, from 6th std onwards, he started studying in the Higher Secondary School in Keylong, which was about 10 kms away from his village.
By the time, Premjit was in Higher secondary, he had started harbouring the desire to join the Indian Army but his mother was against this as as her younger brother, who was in the Army, had been killed in action, at a very young age. Despite this, in 1969, while attempting the 11th std for a second time, Premjit appeared for the selections for Indian Army, and got selected too. His mother was in tears when he went to tell her about this and tried to stop him but nothing deterred him. While training in the Army, he simultaneously completed his studies and also started preparing for SSB.
On 5th December, 1972, he joined the Army Cadet College and in 1976, he got commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Indian Army. A year later, he became a part of the elite 9 Para.
Some of the comrades in the battalion recall that he was an excellent boxer and cross country runner. They remember him as an ever smiling tough but simple guy. His toughness can be known from the fact that he would tell his team mates to step on his shoulder, while climbing down a difficult mountain.
Capt. Premjit was a part of the 1981 Siachen expedition. Col D K Duarah, who had led the expedition wrote that during the expedition, Capt. Premjit was like his right hand and was always smiling and in high spirits. He was tough like a rock and would always be positive even in the toughest and most adverse kind of situation.
Later, in the same year, Capt. Premjit was called to be a part of the All Paratroopers Expedition to Twin Peaks of Nanda Devi. On 4thOctober 1981, Capt. Premjit and his team mate Phu Dorji were last seen, moving towards the summit. Their bodies are believed to have been spotted, using binoculars, but they could never be recovered. They were believed to have fallen in an area that was inaccessible and was also prone to avalanche as well as frequent rock fall.
Capt. Premjit Rockpa was conferred with a Shaurya Chakra, posthumously in January 1983. Premjit was born in the mountains, spent his life in the mountains and it is the mountains where it all ended for him.
Those associated with him, remember Premjit as a very helpful and jovial person. He could become the life of every celebration or function, that he would a part of. But as I always say, God too wants His best back, at the earliest. He would have turned 74 today but he remains forever 30.
Happy Birthday Capt Premjit.
Gone too soon but not forgotten.
