Lucknow: Para Commando Sachin Laur, hailing from Nagariya Goraula village of Tappal, Aligarh, was commissioned into the army in 2019 and became a commando in the Special Forces in 2021. He served in the Para II Regiment of the Special Forces in Rajouri. Tragically, Sachin attained martyrdom while fighting terrorists on Wednesday, just days before his scheduled wedding on December 8.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed his condolences on X, stating, "My condolences are with the bereaved family. We stand with them in this hour of grief. May Lord Shri Ram give a place to the departed soul at his feet and give strength to the bereaved family members to bear this loss. Om Shanti."
On Friday, a solemn wreath-laying ceremony was held in Jammu for the four Army personnel who lost their lives in the encounter in the thickly forested terrain at Kalakote in the Rajouri district. The mortal remains of the fallen soldiers — Captain M V Pranjal, Captain Shubham Gupta, Lance Naik Sanjay Bisht, and Paratrooper Sachin Laur — were brought to Jammu. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, along with senior officials, gave them a tearful farewell during the wreath-laying ceremony.
Havildar Abdul Majid, a resident of Poonch, will be given a similar ceremonial send-off later on Friday. The encounter, which resulted in the tragic loss of five soldiers, including two Army Captains, unfolded between terrorists and a joint team of the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the Bajimaal area of Dharamsala. While the forces suffered five casualties, two terrorists, including a top LeT commander and sniper identified as Quari, were neutralized on Thursday.
