Batra, a posthumous recipient of India's highest military honor, the Param Vir Chakra, is hailed for his unwavering spirit and determination.

Adityanath, in a heartfelt post in Hindi on social platform X, called Batra an 'epitome of valour and determination.' The Chief Minister highlighted Batra's famous battle cry 'Yeh Dil Maange More' as a source of national pride and inspiration for all Indians.
