1968 missing pilot can rest in peace now, after 45 years

, Sept 5:The anxiety and the sorrow of losing a kin in the line of control or on duty for the nation can only be understand by those who have gone through it.

Add to it the uncertainty of his missing body. Although it is short-lived in many cases, but think again. If 45 years seems just a numerical figure for you, it is years of waiting in anticipation for Jagmal's family. Finally, a long wait has come to an end.

45 years ago, Havaldar Jagmal Singh lost his life after an aircraft AN 12 crashed in 1968. An army expedition to the glaciers where he lost his life found his remains and brought them back. His family, along with the army will now cremate his body with full military honours.
