On the night of August 27, 2025, three jawans of 5th Assam Rifle posted at the J&K border with Pakistan were swept away by the sudden flow of the Chenab river.
Among them, newly joined soldier Jimmy Ngamminlun Mate, son of Holkhothang Mate from Khonomphai village in Tengnoupal district, Manipur, was later found dead. His two colleagues managed to escape.
Sources said Mate had recently completed his training and had not yet gone home since joining service.
The tragic incident has raised serious questions: How could such a sudden flow of the Chenab river take away the precious life of a young soldier? Many believe that the death of Jimmy Mate cannot be dismissed as a mere accident. Responsibility must be borne by the higher officers or those in command, who should have ensured proper safety measures for the jawans under their charge.
Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family of Jimmy Ngamminlun Mate. His sacrifice and service will always be remembered with honour.
