MIZO youth Captain Lalrinawma Sailo of Chanmari Veng, Aizawl, received the Kirti Chakra, one of India's highest military gallantry awards, from President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on June 8, 2026.
According to reports, Captain Lalrinawma Sailo, who recently turned 27, neutralized all three militants responsible for the attack in Pahalgam. The militants were reportedly eliminated during the operation.
Union home minister even referred to him in Parliament as one of those who avenged the attack on behalf of the nation.
The Indian Army described Captain Rinawma's mission as "The Cleanest Operation," noting that the militants did not get the opportunity to fire their weapons. It was announced last year that he would be awarded the Kirti Chakra, and he formally received the honour today.
Captain Lalrinawma Sailo is only the second Mizo to receive the Kirti Chakra. The first was Chalhnuna Lushai, who received the award in 1968.
