Om Shanti. A true hero who laid down his life in service. While we honour him, we must also ask if our soldiers have the best possible equipment and support for such high-risk ops. Jai Hind.

So young, with a family waiting for him. This is the real cost of our security that we often forget. The government must ensure his family receives all support and honours without delay.

It's not just about enemy fire. The mountains themselves are a formidable adversary. Salute to the White Knight Corps and all our forces in Jammu & Kashmir. Stay strong.
