A 31-year-old Naib Subedar, Pragat Singh, was tragically killed in action while serving in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. His sacrifice exemplifies the commitment and bravery displayed by the Indian Armed Forces in safeguarding the nation.
Originally hailing from Ramdass in Punjab’s Amritsar district, Singh was assigned to the esteemed 19 Rashtriya Rifles, a unit recognized for its pivotal role in counter-terrorism activities. He joined the Indian Army on December 23, 2015, and during his tenure, he earned a reputation for his dedication, courage, and professionalism.
The soldier’s body is anticipated to return to his hometown by the evening, where extensive arrangements are being made for a solemn reception that will honor his memory with full military rites. The final farewell is scheduled for the following day, attended by family, local residents, and Army representatives.
Survived by his elderly parents, his wife, and two young children, Singh’s untimely death has sent waves of sorrow throughout his community. He is fondly remembered not only as a disciplined soldier but also as a loving family member deeply committed to his loved ones.
The Indian Army and the broader nation pay tribute to Naib Subedar Pragat Singh’s valor and selfless service. His legacy of courage will inspire many, and the Army extends its unwavering support to his grieving family during this challenging time.
