J&K L-G honors soldiers' sacrifices in counter-terror operation avalanche.
In a poignant tribute to two brave soldiers, Lance Havildar Palash Ghosh and Lance Naik Sujoy Ghosh, the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, laid a wreath to honor their supreme sacrifice during a counter-terror operation in the Kishtwar Range of Anantnag. The para commandos were part of a crucial operation launched ahead of heavy snowfall to combat terrorist threats in remote hilly areas. Tragically, they were caught in an avalanche on October 6, leading to their loss after communication with their team was severed. Both soldiers displayed exemplary valor and dedication, facing extreme weather conditions while protecting the nation. The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, expressed her condolences, recognizing their sacrifices and reaffirming the commitment to support their families. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Indian security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, where they work tirelessly to dismantle terrorist networks amidst harsh environmental conditions. The sacrifices of soldiers like Ghosh and Ghosh not only exemplify bravery but also highlight the complex security dynamics in the region, reinforcing the importance of sustained military vigilance in counter-terrorism efforts.
