Last Rites Of 4 CRPF Troopers From Punjab Done With State Honours

Darpan News Desk IANS, 16 Feb, 2019 10:11 PM

    The last rites of four CRPF troopers from Punjab, who were killed in Thursday's terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, were performed on Saturday as their remains were consigned to flames in their villages.

     

    All four were given state funeral and hundreds of people turned up for the last rites. They raised slogans in favour of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and against Pakistan.

     

     

    The four troopers from Punjab were Jaimal Singh of village Kot Ise Khan in Moga district, Sukhjinder Singh of Gandiwind village in Tarn Taran district, Maninder Singh Attri of Dinanagar town in Gurdaspur district and Kulwinder Singh of Rouli village in Nurpur Bedi area of Ropar district.

     

     

    Contingents of the CRPF gave the final guard of honour to the martyrs. Ministers, political leaders and local administration officials were present when the last rites were performed.

     

    Covered in the tricolour, the mortal remains of the CRPF troopers reached their respective villages early on Saturday.

     

     

    Villagers and family members vented their anger on the attack and demanded that the Centre should avenge the deaths and give a befitting reply to the Pakistan-backed terrorists.

     

    A suicide bomber on Thursday rammed his SUV packed with explosives into a CRPF bus on the Srinagar-Jammu highway in Pulwama district, leaving 49 security personnel dead.

     

    Jaimal Singh, 44, was the driver of the fateful bus that was blown up in the attack. He left behind his ageing parents, wife, a 10-year-old son and a younger brother.

     

    Sukhjinder Singh left behind his parents, wife and a seven-month-old son, who was born after a gap of eight years.

     

     

    Maninder Singh had joined the duty on February 13 only. His younger brother is also serving in the CRPF and is posted in Assam now.

     

    Kulwinder Singh was to get married later in 2019.
