The mortal remains of Major Chitresh Bisht, who was killed while defusing a landmine along LoC in the Nowshera sector of Rajouri in Jammu and Kashmir, were brought here on Sunday. His body was taken to the military hospital in Dehradun, where it will be kept till Monday, when the last rites will be performed.
Major Bisht, 31, was leading a bomb disposal squad team for sanitisation when mines were detected on the track in Naushera. The team defused one of the mines, but the device of another mine got activated and the officer attained martyrdom. Bisht's home at Nehru Colony was eagerly awaiting his arrival this month for his marriage slated for March 7.
"I salute the supreme sacrifice made by Major Bisht in the service of the nation and send my heartfelt condolences to the martyr's family. The entire country stands with them in this hour of grief," chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat tweeted.
