They extended their deepest sympathies to his family and commended his valor, as search operations in Uri continue. Moreover, the Corps had recently mourned the loss of another soldier, Sepoy Banoth Anil Kumar, who died on similar duty.
Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan and Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi have also extended condolences for Lance Naik Pritpal Singh and Sepoy Harminder Singh, who were victims in South Kashmir's Kulgam anti-terror efforts.
