Many Sarpanches, Panches, farmers, other civilians and officials of the district administration were appreciated and honoured by the Army for their significant support and contribution in providing essential services and security assistance during the ‘Operation Sindoor’. Among them was a 10-year-old ‘Youngest Warrior’ Master Shavan, who supported the army personnel deployed in the border villages. This enthusiastic young warrior said that he has learnt to help others from his school. His father Sonu Singh and mother Santosh Rani were happy to be felicitated by the Indian Army. They said that Shavan, without caring for time, kept on providing essential eatables, day and night, to the army men deployed in their fields during the operation. Speaking on the occasion, Major General RS Manral, General Officer Commanding of 7 Infantry Division, said that the vital contribution of the civil administration played a key role in making our operation successful.
