Assam Rifles felicitates Veer Naris and next of kin
In an honest effort to pay glowing tributes to the fallen heroes and their supreme service in the line of duty, 4 ASSAM Regiment of 26 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) felicitated the Next of Kin and Veer Naris of the ASSAM Regiment on 28 September 2016 at HQ 26 Sector Assam Rifles, Pallel in Chandel district.
Adding on to the festivities surrounding the 56th Raising Day Celebrations, the unit through this ceremony attempted to initiate the tradition of honoring and caring for the families of martyrs to mark the solemnity of the occasions which otherwise would not have seen the light of the day without their sacrifice.
The ceremony was the culmination of the yearlong effort in mapping, identifying and understanding the plight of the often humble, sober and subdued population of Ex- Servicemen settled in the neighboring districts.
In the ceremony, Commander of 26 Sector Assam Rifles distributed assistance of Rs 29,000/- to the families of six Martyrs of the Assam Regiment. The martyrs whose families were felicitated ranged from the ones attaining martyrdom on the icy heights of Siachin Glacier and recent AN 32 Crash to the ones lost in the anonymity amidst massive destruction caused Cyclone ‘Komen’ last year.
The ceremony concluded with reciprocation of warmth from the families who felt touched and humbled by the effort. The unit resolved to take the effort of reaching out to the fraternity to higher level and keep the communication channel intact with them.
