Army Personnel Tragically Swept Away by Flash Floods in J&K’s Poonch District

In a tragic incident caused by relentless downpours, the bodies of two valiant army soldiers have been recovered in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. The courageous individuals, identified as Naib Subedar Kuldeep Singh and Lance Naik Telu Ram, were swept away by powerful flash floods while crossing the Dogra nallah in the Surankote area. The Indian Army promptly launched a rescue operation to locate the missing soldiers in the treacherous Poshana River.

According to the PRO Defence Jammu, Naib Subedar Kuldeep Singh was tragically swept away while crossing a river during an area domination patrol in the challenging terrain of Poonch. Additionally, Lance Naik Telu Ram met the same fate when he was washed away by the sudden onslaught of flash floods while crossing a mountainous stream during an area domination patrol in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch region.

Expressing deep condolences, the White Knight Corps, via its official Twitter account, stated, “Lance Naik Telu Ram, while crossing a mountainous stream during an area domination patrol in the demanding terrain of Poonch, was tragically swept away by flash floods. In a courageous attempt to save his comrade, Naib Sub Kuldeep Singh, the patrol leader, made the ultimate sacrifice and laid down his own life.”

The recovery of the soldiers’ bodies serves as a somber reminder of the inherent risks and challenges faced by the Indian Army personnel in their unwavering dedication to protect the nation. The loss of these brave soldiers has left a void that will be deeply felt by their comrades and loved ones.

Efforts are ongoing to support and console the grieving families, as well as to ensure that necessary measures are taken to prevent such incidents in the future. The Indian Army remains steadfast in its commitment to the safety and well-being of its personnel, even in the face of unforgiving natural elements.
