Sad.RIP Captain
Indian army s all the arms are frightful and brave. PARA SF units being at the top! But no one is really less…
(Pls confirm, if he was not from the signals…. The cap indicates him from the signals)
From signals to 9 para sf
Sad to lose our brave heros. Salute to them and the motherland. Specific action must be taken to root out the terrorists. Jai Hind..
I salute crore times to Captain for his supreme sacrifice for nation.
Indian military should use gas bombs to make unconscious these terrorist from long distances. Our soldiers will be protected from their bullets as they will be far from their reach. Fumigation of unconscious gas can be done by drones.
Three things reach near terrorists air, sound and bullets. Bullets cannot reach as terrorist are hidden, sound if reaches to terrorists won’t kill or harm, air can reach to terrorists whether they are visible or hidden. So air infused with unconscious gas will do wonder without any casualty from our side.
