The body of martyr Havildar Amrik Singh of Una district of Himachal Pradesh has not yet arrived from Kupwara in Jammu and Kashmir. In his native village Ganu Mandwara, the dead body of the martyr son is waiting since 3 days. Amrik’s brother is in constant touch with the officials of the Army Center in Kupwara. The body could not be airlifted due to bad weather.
Let us inform that on Thursday an attempt was made to airlift the dead body of Martyr Amrik Singh, but the snowy weather in Kupwara remained a hindrance. The army will try to airlift the body even today. On Friday morning, Hardeep Singh had a phone conversation with the officials at the Army Center in Kupwara, in which the army officials have asked to airlift the dead body only when the weather opens.
Martyr’s younger brother Hardeep Singh said that he has been informed by army officials that post-mortem will be done in Srinagar as soon as the bodies are airlifted. After this, the body will be brought from Srinagar to Jammu, from where it will be sent for further investigation. The body will reach Chandigarh and from there it will be brought to Himachal. The last rites of the martyr will be performed in the native village itself.
Leave was to come home after 2-3 days
Amrik Singh was to return home from Kupwara on leave after 2-3 days of Lohri festival. For this, wife Ruchi and family members were eagerly waiting for his arrival, but destiny had approved something else. Amrik was martyred in an accident on Tuesday evening. Due to his martyrdom, a mountain of sorrow broke down on the family members.
At the same time, Vicky Rana, who runs a shop in the lane leading to the martyr’s house in Ganu Mandwara, also looked inconsolable for his martyrdom. He told that in the month of July last year, the American had gone back to duty from home. He was the most friendly of the family. Other people of the village were also seen saddened by the martyrdom of Amrik, lighting a bonfire in a herd outside the shop.
