Havildar Sunil Kumar, 36, of 16 Bihar Regiment had come down from the Galwan valley바카라™s upper reaches three months before the clashes with Chinese soldiers last year. The advance unit had left for Sikandarabad and he was supposed to join them with the rest of the rear unit. He was also looking forward to returning home on leave soon. 바카라œHe had booked his train ticket to Patna and we were all looking forward to his ret­urn when the Chinese incursion happened,바카라 says Anil Kumar, Sunil바카라™s elder brother, who was with the Bihar regiment바카라™s 3rd battalion bef­ore he retired. 바카라œMy brother was sent back to the valley바카라™s upper reaches because of his experience there. In my 18 years with the army, I had never heard of a bloody clash of this kind, though skirmishes and physical duels did happen.바카라

Five more soldiers from Bihar were killed on June 15, 2020. Given a tearful send-off by thousands at his native Taranagar in Patna district when his mortal remains were consigned to flames, Sunil was posthumously conferred the Sena Medal (Gallantry). 바카라œWe are proud of him,바카라 says his brother, who had once sought to dissuade him from joining the army. 바카라œWhen I retired in 2002, he joined the army. I told him that an army man has to lead a tough life, but he was determined to serve the nation as a soldier. China has always been wary of the Bihar Regiment, whose soldiers had taken them on valiantly at Nathu-la in the past. We are proud of 8 Bihar Regiment.바카라

Sunil had come to his village six months before his death. While returning to his battalion, he had promised his family that he would come back soon. Even now, his father, 90, and mother, 85, often break into tears. 바카라œWhat can be a greater sorrow for parents than the death of their children?바카라 asks Anil. 바카라œMy brother has three children. The eldest daughter is in class 9 and the youngest son is yet to go to school. They need a guardian. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari gave us Rs 1 lakh and promised to take care of the expenses of their education. The Nitish Kumar government gave Rs 36 lakh. The Centre and the army paid us whatever is due to a soldier who falls in battle. The Telangana government promised Rs 10 lakh, but we haven바카라™t got it yet, perhaps due to the lockdown.바카라 The Bihar government appointed Sunil바카라™s wife as a clerk at the Danapur sub-divisional office.
