 Keran Sector Operation : 07th June 2018 

 

During 2018, Sep Sukhwinder Singh’s unit was deployed in Kupwara district of J & K along the LOC. India shares around 3000 Km border with Pakistan in which around 740 km of LOC falls in Jammu & Kashmir.

In the year 2018, 633 ceasefire violations were recorded along the LOC and the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir in first two months of 2018. Of these 432 incidents were reported from the Line of Control and 201 on the International Border. Besides cease fire violations, the LOC in Kupwara district is also used by the militants for infiltration into Indian territory. Army deploys armed patrols on a regular basis to check infiltration and Sep Sukhwinder Singh was part of one such patrol on 06 June 2018 in Keran sector of Kupwara district.

 

Whilst on patrol, during a standoff attack by the militants who were trying to infiltrate, Sep Sukhwinder Singh got hit by the bullets and was injured. He was provided immediate first aid and evacuated to the 92 Base Hospital in Srinagar. However Sep Sukhwinder Singh succumbed to his injuries and was martyred. Sep Sukhwinder Singh was a valiant and committed soldier, who at the age of 26 years, laid down his life in the service of the nation. Sep Sukhwinder Singh is survived by his parents and two brothers.
