LOC Firing: 19th Jan 2018

 

India shares a 3,323-km border with Pakistan, of which 221 km of the IB and 740 km of the LOC fall in Jammu and Kashmir. The LoC is highly active and volatile where ceasefire violations occur very often and without any warning. The year 2017, recorded the highest number of ceasefire violations in the past decade resulting in the death of 35 people, including 19 army personnel and four BSF men. Another ceasefire violation took place in Sunderbani sector of Rajouri district along the LOC on 19 Jan 2018.

 

On 19 Jan 2018, at around 6:30 pm, Pakistan Army troops initiated unprovoked firing on Indian posts from across the border in the Sunderbani sector, prompting the Indian troops guarding the LOC to retaliate strongly and effectively. Lance Naik Sam Abraham was manning a forward post in Sunderbani sector during that period. The heavy cross border firing continued for 12 hours and during that exchange of fire Lance Naik Sam Abraham got severely injured and later succumbed to his injuries.  Lance Naik Sam Abraham was a committed soldier who laid down his life in the line of duty while serving his motherland.

 

Lance Naik Sam Abraham is survived by his wife  Anu Mathew, daughter Angel, father Mr. Abraham John and mother Mrs. Saramma.

    Mere words cannot express the pride we feel to have such brave souls guarding our Nation but even more pride we feel is when we see how their families supported them to do so. You have our respects for it is the strength in you that has protected this strong Nation and its sovereignty. You are as much as a brave soul as he was.

    He lives on through his dedication and spirit for the Nation. We salute him and you for protecting us all.

    Being in Navy for almost 20 + years, and being a part of this initiative, i am feeling my self rewarded to show my gratitude to the martyr. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat
