Dehradun, August 17

The mortal remains of martyr Hawaldar Narendra Singh Bisht, who attained martyrdom in a Pakistani ceasefire violation in the Uri Sector of Jammu and Kashmir, were consigned to flames in Haridwar today.

The last rites were conducted with full military honours and in presence of a large gathering. Earlier, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Rawat himself visited Selaqui residence of the martyr in Dehradun and laid a floral wreath on his body. The Chief Minister was accompanied by Vikasnagar MLA Munna Singh Chauhan, Sahaspur MLA Sahdev Singh Pundir and other BJP leaders. Uttarakhand Congress president Pritam Singh too reached the martyr’s residence and offered his tributes. 

Bisht, who sustained bullet injuries in the ceasefire violation in the Uri Sector  on August 7, was undergoing treatment at the Jammu Military Hospital, where he succumbed to injuries yesterday. Martyr Narendra Singh Bisht was to retire next year and had only come to his house on a 10 day leave in July. 

Bisht leaves behind his wife Asha and two daughters Neha and Nikita, who were in a state of shock. Bisht belongs to Chamoli Garhwal.
