Jhajjar, August 24
Jhajjar had attained the “glory” of being top among other districts in India with the largest number of 26 Army soldiers killed during ‘Operation Rakshak’, launched in Jammu and Kashmir against cross-border terrorists, hailing from the district. This was disclosed by Mr Mohinder Kumar, Deputy Commissioner, while paying rich tributes at the pyre of Sepoy Bhim Singh of 3rd Jat Regiment in Sehlanga village, 40 km from here, today.
The funeral of martyr Bhim Singh was performed with full state honours and military decorum.
As per the information received here, Sepoy Bhim Singh had an encounter with militants on August 21 night at 10.15 in Lasana village near Poonch in which he killed two militants. Unfortunately, he and his colleague Babu Lal lost their lives in the encounter. The militants killed included two Sudanese and one Afghan national. They were reportedly deputed to disturb peace in the valley by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba.
Mr Kumar further stated that the state government would provide a grant of Rs 2.50 lakh, as per the Haryana police, to the next of kin of Sepoy Bhim Singh.
On the occasion, he gave Rs 11,000 to Mrs Manju, wife of the late sepoy, through the Red Cross Society. Mr Nafe Singh Rathee, MLA from Bahadurgarh, Narender Deswal, chairman of the Zila Parishad, SDM, DDPO, DPRO and villagers were among those who laid wreaths on the body of Bhim Singh.
