GREAT SALUTE TO THE BRAVEHEARTS SACRIFICING THEIR LIVES IN LINE IF NATIONAL DUTY
Even when the rest of the nation is locked into a battle with the dreaded Corona virus, our brave soldiers are fighting the terrorists on the borders of Jammu & Kashmir.
In fact there are intelligence reports that ISI and Lashkar are trying to push in corona infected terrorists to devastate Kashmir one way or the other but they will not succeed.
Each and every terrorist dog will be hunted down by brave men of Indian Army, Central Police Forces and the police of UT of Jammu & Kashmir.
*Just Like That – They Are Gone*
_*An operation launched yesterday ….. By PARA SF*_
They launched like every other time..Comn check, Eqpt check, Wpn check, Med check….But this time they never came back.
There were no last letters for just in case…No last calls to tell one more time…No recorded videos for posterity….No last wishes on Radio, when they lay bleeding with their guts spilled but still fighting. But they never came back.
They launched like ghosts in the dark, fought like the warriors in the solitary night but only came back silently, draped in the tricolour.
The rotors whirred….the drop made in the green glow….The arduous 4 hour journey began….
As the world lay quarantined, made prisoners in their own home by a Virus…The buddies advanced nonchalantly..fearlessly ..confidently.. with purpose. The squad moved as one.
UAV had spotted a track of 5. Tracks were seen in snow going along in a nallah. The two squads were launched to track the ghosts. Hours later, the squads were confident that the tgt was near.
The Squads separated along the two shoulders to box the location. Night was dark and the access slanting and steep, but that is why the specialists were there. It is what they do, that is what they are specialised in.
And then the tragedy unfolded. Along the cliff, on the shoulder on which the right squad was moving – The complete snow block collapsed, taking the Squad leader and the two scouts down all the way to the nallah…All three fell straight down to what emerged later to be within 2 metres from the hiding 5.
The area was lit up..The three were taking fire..The squad was under intense engagement.
The remaining two of the Squad went ballistic…Self preservation mode was off..They jumped and ran into the fusilade for a fighting extraction..
The 4 trts got an opportunity to pump a few magazines out before they got the tap for eternal silence. The fifth ran to meet his end with the stops. All 5 lay dead.
But, the whole squad paid the price. 5 Gallant men are down.
*They launched…But they never returned.*
*एक दिया इन वतन के शहीदों के नाम*
