Jawan

Attacked and wounded by terrorists in 2001, Nirbhay Singh had been suffering for 17 years, until a media report highlighted his plight.

Nearly 50 years ago, IAF aircraft AN-12 flying from Chandigarh to Leh with 102 defence personnel mysteriously vanished in 1968.

Journalist Majid Hyderi who clicked the picture of the jawan shared the incident in a Facebook post, the snapshots of which have garnered over 1,800 likes and 780 retweets.

“After my brother’s cremation, no one from the government helped us. We are happy that people are helping in our endeavour to fulfil the memory of my brother.”

A jawan named Raghvan Singh, stationed at the LoC in Kashmir, recites four lines about his work and a soldier's sacrifice.
