Dead body recovered after 56 years
Saharanpur: Many times, we see and hear such incidents in life which become difficult to believe. But the body of an Air Force soldier, resident of Nanauta area of Saharanpur district of UP, has been recovered after 56 years near Siachen Glacier. Everyone is stunned to know this. His body will reach his village on Thursday. The family members of the soldier will be able to perform his last rites with customs. The surprising thing is that due to being buried in snow, his body did not get completely spoiled.
What is the whole matter?
Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural Area) Sagar Jain gave information on Wednesday and said that Malkhan Singh, a resident of Fatehpur village of Nanauta police station area, was an Air Force soldier and was involved in the accident of an army plane near Siachen Glacier in Himachal Pradesh on February 7, 1968. He was martyred because he was a victim. More than 100 soldiers were martyred in this accident.
Jain said that since it was a snowy mountain area, the bodies could not be recovered. How difficult this task was can be gauged from the fact that till the year 2019, only five bodies were recovered. Recently, four more bodies were found here, one of which was that of Jawan Malkhan Singh.
When Malkhan was martyred, he was 23 years old. During this time he had his wife Shiladevi and a one and a half year old son Ram Prasad. But now when his body reaches the village, his wife and son will not be present because he has died.
In such a situation, Malkhan’s last rites will be performed by his grandsons. The surprising thing here is that after Malkhan’s death, his wife Sheela got married to his younger brother Chandrapal. In this situation, he has 2 sons and a daughter. The people of the village are waiting to bid final farewell to Malkhan. Information has also been received that Malkhan’s brother Chandrapal has also died. (input language)
