The Army Honours its Courageous Soldier with Heartfelt Tributes

Sepoy Pawan Kumar displayed remarkable courage by overpowering a terrorist in a hand-to-hand combat during a Cordon and Search Operation in Potgampora, Pulwama. Unfortunately, he sustained severe injuries and ultimately succumbed to them, making the supreme sacrifice in the highest traditions of the Indian Army.

Sepoy Pawan Kumar is survived by his mother, Smt Bhajun Dassi. The mortal remains of the brave soldier are being transported to his native place at Village Pithyt, Post Kinoo, Tehsil Rampur, District Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, where he will be laid to rest with full military honours.

In this hour of grief, the Indian Army stands in solidarity with the bereaved family and is committed to upholding their dignity and well-being.
