The Chief Minister remembered the ultimate sacrifice made by the Colonel who was martyred by the Chinese Troops in a fierce standoff when the former tried to enter Indian territory illegally.

Besides this, the state government will also be providing Rs 10 lakh each to the families of 19 other soldiers who lost their lives in the clash between the two troops.
