A recollection of the events of the date 14th December 1971, when 6 PAF Sabre Jets came to bombard the Srinagar Air Base. Flg Officer Nirmal Jit Sekhon showed exemplary courage by taking off through falling bombs and engaged the enemy. He succeeded in warding off the attack, but himself laid down his life in the defense of Srinagar, for which he was awarded the highest bravery honor in India – The Param Vir Chakra, Posthumously.
