“Proud to share that my brother Brig Vikram Nagpal has been awarded Sena Medal for distinguished service in the Kashmir Valley.. #servicebeforeself #IndianArmy #proudsister.”
"The home ministry has made it a point to ensure that the lower ranks of the police forces get due recognition. The least medals went to the higher ranks this year. It is bottom heavy this time," a senior official said.
A joint team of army and SOG of Jammu and Kashmir Police earlier launched a cordon-and-search-operation in Chaigund Dairoo village of Shopian after inputs about the presence of militants.
The protesters holding the placards raised slogans like “Asifa hum Sharminda hai tumaray qatil zinda hai,” “We Want Justice,” “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Nara Kaha Gaya” etc.
