Heroic Sacrifice in the Rains: Tributes to Agniveer Jimmy Ngamminlun Mate

In a solemn ceremony on Friday, Lieutenant General P K Mishra, who commands the White Knight Corps, honored the bravery of Agniveer Jimmy Ngamminlun Mate. Mate tragically lost his life during a daring anti-flood evacuation operation on the outskirts of Jammu city.

The operation occurred amid extreme weather conditions that left scores of people, including pilgrims, stranded. The Jammu region witnessed unprecedented rainfall, the highest since 1910, which led to a devastating landslide at the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra, claiming 34 lives.

The White Knight Corps, through a post on X, expressed deep solidarity with Mate's family during this hour of grief, recognizing his supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.
