SRINAGAR:

Just 24 hours after he was awarded a gallantry medal for his service in Kashmir, Colonel Munindra Nath Rai was killed while leading an operation against terrorists in a village in south Kashmir's Pulwama district. Colonel Rai, 39, is the highest-ranking military officer to be killed in fighting in the region in nearly a year.

• 
  A policemen and two terrorists were also killed in the encounter in what the army described as an intense gun battle in Mindora village.
  
  Col Rai is from Mirzapur in UP. He was the commanding officer of the 42 Rashtriya Rifles, an infantry regiment.
  
  

• This morning he received intelligence inputs that terrorists were hiding in a house in the area and he rushed with a quick reaction team or QRT, a small team of eight to 12. A local SOG (Special Operations Group) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police also accompanied them.

• 
  Army sources said that when Col Rai's team reached the house and cordoned it off, the residents, suspected to be relatives of the terrorists, requested them not to carry out an full-scale operation, as that would entail sequestering the entire village.
  
  
  
  
  As the Colonel was working out the details with the residents, two terrorists rushed out firing blindly. Col Rai was hit in the temple and fatally wounded and the SoG personnel was killed. The radio operator, who shot down the two terrorists, was injured.
  
  The Colonel died in hospital.
  
  An officer of the 9 Gurkhas, Col Rai won the Yudh Seva Medal yesterday for killing a foreign terrorist in a close battle last year. The Yudh Seva Medal or YSM is awarded for the highest degree of distinguished service in a war or conflict.
  
  His fellow officers knew him as a brave soldier who always led from the front. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Any proofs or should we have to take your words as gospel truth?

 

[Lord ZeN]

The commander of 42 Rashtriya rifles, Colonel M.M Rai along with a Policeman were killed during a gun battle with the Kashmiri resistence fighters

It's actually Pakistan- sponsored Sunni terrorists NOT Kashmiri resistance.

Sir our govt is not bankrupt ,our govt not failed to provide us petrol,gas or electricity,so how you can say its backfired.We lost few brave soldiers but we are killing more rats than ever before, we are creating fear among rats than ever before while Kashmir voting more than ever before.

We share your loss but keeping Kashmir unstable through RAW sponsored terrorism in long run will only damage the interest of India.

[ghilzai]

Hmm,,,,so hizbul mujahidin is kashmir 'resistence'...


Pukhtoon resistance,,,

Pukhtoons don't need to resist anything as we are at home, we are free to do what ever we want to do.

Only the afghan scum causes trouble, they are purchased easily to cause trouble, but if you disagree come check the ground reality yourself.

He did his duty nothing more nothing less he paid with his life for it, let him rest in peace.
