New Delhi/Patna: The Bihar government has announced a state funeral for four soldiers from the 21 Bihar Regiment who were killed on Tuesday in an ambush by the Pakistani troops along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. A compensation of Rs. 10 lakh for the family of each of the four soldiers has also been announced by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
The jawans were deployed on the Sarla forward post in Chakan-Da-Bagh sector of Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir. Four of them - Naik Prem Nath, 35, Lance Naik Shambhu Saran, 29, Sepoy Vijay Kumar Rai, 27, and Sepoy Ragunandan, 23, - were from Bihar. The fifth soldier killed in the attack, 36-year-old Naik Pundalik, was part of the 14 Maratha Light Infantry and was from Mane, Kolhapur in Maharashtra.
A sixth jawan has been seriously injured in the attack by the Pakistani troops and is in a military hospital. His testimony will be crucial in helping India back claims that the Pakistanis were 400 metres into Indian territory when Indian patrol party was ambushed about 200 kilometres south of Srinagar and just 40 kilometres away from where an Indian soldier was beheaded by the Pakistani army in January, forcing bilateral relations to a grave low.
