| Soldier injured in stone-pelting dies, Army pays tribute | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Oct 26: An Army jawan succumbed to his injuries Friday a day after he was attacked by stone pelting youths in Anantnag of South Kashmir.
22-year-old Rajendra Singh was part of a Quick Reaction Team (QRT) that was providing security to a Border Roads Organisation convoy. When the convoy was passing through Anantnag bypass tri-junction, youths hurled stones at the vehicle injuring Singh.
Rajendra Singh suffered injuries during stone pelting by local youth.
Meanwhile, the Army paid tributes to three jawans killed in separate incidents in the valley, in anti-militancy operations. "In a solemn ceremony at Badamibagh cantonment, General Officer Commanding of Chinar Corps of the Army Lt Gen A K Bhatt and all ranks paid homage to the martyrs on behalf of a proud nation," an Army official was quoted as saying by PTI. The three soldiers were Lance Naik Brajesh Kumar, Sepoy Ngamsiamliana and Sepoy Rajendra Singh.
Brajesh Kumar (32) sustained splinter injuries during a fierce operation against militants in Baramulla district's Sopore. Two militants were also killed in the operation, the official said. A native of Himachal Pradesh's Nanawin village, Kumar had joined the Army in 2004. He is survived by his wife and a daughter, he added.
Ngamsiamliana was killed on Thursday during an attack on an Army camp in Luragam village of Tral in Pulwama district. He hailed from village Rengtekawn in Mizoram and had joined the Army in 2013. He is survived by his parents, the official said. "The mortal remains of the martyrs were flown for last rites to their native places, where they would be laid to rest with full military honours. In this hour of grief, the Army stands in solidarity with the families of the bravehearts and remains committed to their dignity and well being," the official said. |
