Around 30 Pakistani terrorists suspected to be active in Rajouri-Poonch sector: Defence sources
Friday, 22 December 2023 Pakistan and China are collaborating to revive terrorism in the Rajouri-Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir. Around 25-30 Pakistani terrorists are suspected to be hiding in the forest areas of the region. This is part of a greater plan to pressurize the Indian Army to redeploy troops from the Ladakh sector. The Pakistan-China nexus aims to prevent India from deploying troops on the China border, particularly in Ladakh where there has been a standoff with the PLA for the past three years.
Capt Sekhar Ghosh was a valiant officer born on September 27, 1975, in Barrackpore, West Bengal. The son of an army veteran, late Lt Col Shankar Nath Ghosh and Smt Ira Ghosh, he grew up with a deep sense of patriotism. Capt Sekhar pursued his passion for the military by joining IMA. He was commissioned into the Army Service Corps in December 1997 and later served with the 2 Sikh Infantry Battalion in Jammu & Kashmir.
Capt Sekhar Ghosh was known for his exceptional soldierly skills and leadership. He was awarded the Best Young Officer's Trophy in 1999 and a COAS Commendation Card in 2000 for his outstanding performance. His bravery and commitment were most evident during a counter-insurgency operation in Rajouri, J&K, in August 2000. Leading his troops in a fierce battle against terrorists, Capt Sekhar displayed extraordinary courage, eliminating multiple terrorists and saving his comrades. Tragically, he was martyred during the operation on August 12, 2000, just shy of his 25th birthday. For his supreme sacrifice and valour, Capt Sekhar Ghosh was posthumously awarded the Shaurya Chakra, one of India's highest gallantry awards. He is remembered as a true hero, leaving behind a legacy of courage and dedication to the nation.

The 101 Regulars woke to a frosty morning, with a crystalline layer of ice on their bikes, symbolizing their resilience. After refueling in Leh, they set off to Manali, crossing Sarchu, the gateway between Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh.
Their ascent to Baralacha La (16,040 ft) offered stunning views and marked the confluence of the Bhaga, Yunam, and Tsarap Chu rivers. Navigating challenging terrains, they reached Suraj Tal, a serene high-altitude lake. After a pitstop at Zingzing Bar, they continued past Darcha, crossing Himachal’s longest bridge, and followed the Bhaga River to Jispa.
Skipping Rohtang Pass, they opted for the Rohtang Tunnel, a marvel of modern engineering, ensuring year-round connectivity. One lone rider paid homage at war memorials near Turtuk and Siachen Base Camp.
In Manali, the Regulars reminisced about their IMA days, cherishing the bonds forged during their service. This journey from high-altitude passes to serene valleys strengthened their camaraderie and spirit.
