LOC firing(Nowshera Sector):  31 Dec 2017

 

During Dec 2017, Sep Jagsir Singh’s unit 18 Punjab was deployed in the Nowshera sector near LOC and was manning the forward posts. On 31 December Sep Jagsir Singh was deployed at the forward post in Rumli Dhara in Nowshera Sector. This sector near the LOC was very active and volatile as the enemy forces often resorted to unprovoked firing from across the border.

 

At around 3.50 AM on 31 Dec, the sniper shots were fired by Pakistani army’s Baloch regiment troops. The army retaliated in a befitting manner resulting in heavy exchange of fire. During this firing Sepoy Jagsir Singh got wounded seriously and was taken to the near by military hospital. However he succumbed to his injuries on the way and was martyred.

 

Sep Jagsir Singh was a disciplined and committed soldier who laid down his life in the line of duty. Sep Jagsir Singh is survived by his wife Smt Mohinderpal Kaur, daughters Nagam & Gurneet and son Jagdish.
