Convoy Attack : 16 Jan 2005
During 2005 Naik Rajendra H Tibile’s unit was deployed in the trouble torn part of Assam. As the AOR(Area of Responsibility) of the unit was affected by militancy, the unit troops were engaged in operations against the militants on a frequent basis. The unit launched regular patrols to monitor suspicious activities as part of their operations to keep militancy under check. Naik Tibile and his comrades often undertook regular patrol in that sector where ultras often resorted to ambush and killing of army personnel. The movement of men and material was undertaken under armed escorts as the ULFA militants often attacked such convoys to cause maximum damage. On 16 Jan 2005, Naik Tibile was part of one such convoy taking men and supporting equipment for an operational task.
As the convoy reached a vulnerable place, the ULFA militants attacked the convoy with automatic weapons. Naik Tibile and other soldiers though taken aback by the surprise attack, rose to the occasion and launched a counter attack. A fierce gun-battle ensued thereafter with heavy firing from both sides. However during the heavy exchange of fire, Naik Tibile received gun shots and got seriously wounded. He later succumbed to his injuries and was martyred. Naik Tibile was a valiant and committed soldier, who laid down his life in the line of his duty.
Naik Rajendra H Tibile is survived by his wife Smt Indhu and four daughters, the twins Rusha & Thrupthi , Shradha and Deeksha.
