We are in the process of gathering additional information about this fallen soldier and are putting painstaking efforts in scouring the data available in public domain, towards that end. You may appreciate that it is a humongous task to curate the information about all the martyrs since 1947 and the endeavor demands huge amount of time and resources. Thus, we need the support of the martyr’s family members, former Unit or Formation colleagues, other comrades and friends in this regard. Please share any information about this soldier, if you have, by virtue of your association with him to make his profile comprehensive and inspirational. The information may be in the form of text, photographs or video clips and may be sent as and when available, since the information is dynamically updated.

    Was studying at Dagshai Public School and used to visit Lt Col Nanda’s house because his son was my classmate. Usec to play as goalkeeper in hockey matches against Sikh LI4. Sadly after they left for the war the regiment did not come back to Dagshai but got the information that the regiment had taken severe losses including Lt Col Nanda.
