🇮🇳🕯️ Major David Manlun from Churachandpur district of Manipur is remembered across the nation as a fearless officer who made the supreme sacrifice while fighting insurgents near the Myanmar border. ❤️⚔️
His courage, determination, and leadership during one of the most dangerous counter-insurgency operations continue to inspire millions of Indians and stand as a proud example of service to the nation.
According to reports, Major David was serving with the 164 Infantry Battalion TA (NAGA) in Nagaland, where security forces regularly carried out operations against insurgent groups active near the border region. 🌲🚨
In June 2017, intelligence reports suggested the presence of heavily armed militants in the Lappa area of Mon district near the Myanmar border.
The militants were suspected to be linked to extremist organisations operating in the region, prompting security forces to launch a joint mission involving Para Commandos and the 164 Infantry Battalion. 🇮🇳🛡️
The operation was conducted in extremely challenging terrain, nearly 325 kilometers away from Kohima and close to the international border. During the mission, insurgents suddenly opened intense fire on the advancing troops. 💥
⚔️ Major David Manlun, who was leading the team from the front, displayed extraordinary bravery by moving forward and launching a counter-attack against the militants while guiding and motivating his soldiers during the fierce encounter.
While protecting his troops and fighting courageously against the insurgents, Major David was critically hit by enemy fire and attained martyrdom in the line of duty. 🇮🇳💔
Reports also stated that the successful operation led to the recovery of a significant quantity of weapons and ammunition from the militants, highlighting the effectiveness and bravery of the security forces involved.
For his exceptional courage, leadership, unwavering commitment, and supreme sacrifice, Major David Manlun was posthumously awarded the Kirti Chakra, India’s second-highest peacetime gallantry award. 🏅✨
His sacrifice remains a reminder of the bravery and dedication shown daily by India’s armed forces in protecting peace and national security.
India salutes this brave hero with pride, respect, and gratitude. 🙏🇮🇳
