On the eve of the 76th Republic Day, announcement was made by President Smt Droupadi Murmu. She approved the conferment of Gallantry awards to 93 personnel from the Armed Forces and Central Armed Police Forces. This included 11 posthumous recognitions, a tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The awards included two Kirti Chakras, one of which was posthumous, 14 Shaurya Chakras, three of which were posthumous, one Bar to Sena Medal (Gallantry), 66 Sena Medals, seven of which were posthumous, two Nao Sena Medal (Gallantry), and eight Vayu Sena Medals (Gallantry).
Among the Kirti Chakra awardees was Major Manjit from the Punjab Regiment. He displayed exceptional bravery in saving the lives of three persons, including two children, who were in the line of gunfire of a terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir 's Sopore. Despite the heavy volume of fire directed towards him, Major Manjit crawled towards the terrorist, demonstrating extraordinary courage and commitment to duty. Another notable awardee was Lt Commander Sourabh Malik, who led an operation to save the hijacked Iranian vessel FV Omari during an anti-piracy operation in the Arabian Sea. The operation led to the capture of seven armed pirates, rescue of 19 fishermen, and recovery of arms, ammunition, and other piracy enablers.
In the Indian Air Force, Flight Lieutenant Aman Singh Hans was recognized for his bravery when he lost the cockpit display and his overhead canopy at an altitude of 28,000 feet in the dead of the night. Despite being exposed to minus 35 degrees Celsius temperature and facing dangers of decompression sickness, hypoxia, and wind blast affecting eyes at that altitude and high speeds, he managed to land the jet safely, averting a potential catastrophe. Naik Khan, who was part of an ambush in the dense jungles of Lolab Valley, engaged one terrorist in hand-to-hand combat while another continued to fire indiscriminately from a distance. His bravery and commitment to duty were recognized with a posthumous award.
In a unique recognition, Army dog Phantom, who was deployed with 9 Para (Special Forces), was among the 58 Mentioned-in-Despatches approved by the President. Phantom was killed in action during a counter-terror operation in Akhnoor last year, demonstrating the critical role of animals in military operations. The Republic Day is celebrated on January 26 every year to commemorate the adoption of the country's Constitution in 1950. The Constituent Assembly of India adopted the Constitution on November 26, 1949, and it came into effect on January 26, 1950. The day is marked by parades, speeches, programs, and ceremonies, including cultural events across the country.
The Gallantry awards and defence decorations approved by the President are a testament to the bravery, commitment, and dedication of the Armed Forces and Central Armed Police Forces personnel. They serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and women in ensuring the safety and security of the nation. As we celebrate the Republic Day, let us remember and honor these heroes who have gone above and beyond their call of duty to protect our nation and its people. Their stories of courage and sacrifice continue to inspire us all.
The full list of the recipients of gallantry and other defence decorations is as follows:
