Army Captain Vidyadhar Singh and Lok Sabha member Nihal Chand led the wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial.

Navpal was martyred in 2002 after he gunned down three PoK-trained terrorists in Surankote area of Poonch region in Jammu and Kashmir. He was awarded Shaurya Chakra posthumously.

Navpal’s father Lieutenant Col Agyapal Singh Sidhu (retd) had led the offensive against the Pakistani Army in the 1965 and 1971 wars. He and martyr’s brother Rajpal Singh Sidhu thanked the people for remembering Navpal.
