GUWAHATI:While some miscreants are burning the country in protest against an agneepath scheme, on the other hand, the Army has once again set a wonderful example of the spirit of service to the country. Captain Das, an Officer of the Indian Army in flood-hit Assam, has set a unique example of serving others before himself. Rupam Das's own family was trapped in the floods, but they have saved more than 100 lives regardless of it.

Praising the efforts of Das, a resident of Pathshala in Assam, the Army on Sunday said, "During the flood rescue operation by the Army, the dedicated officer saved the lives of more than a hundred people even after his family members were trapped. "His actions are an exceptional example of selfless service to humanity and the nation. These kinds of inspiring actions reveal extraordinary human values and strong military beauty and reflect the fundamental qualities in the youth of the country. '
