Srinagar, July 19 (IBNS): The Indian Army on Wednesday paid homage to soldier killed in sniper fire from Pakistan in Nowgam area of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Tuesday.

Lt Gen JS Sandhu, Chinar Corps Commander and all ranks paid homage to the soldier during a ceremony at BB Cant in Srinagar.

“In a show of solidarity, officials of other security agencies also joined in paying their last respects to the deceased soldier,” said a statement, issued by the army.

Rifleman Bimal Sinjali sustained bullet injuries due to enemy fire across the Line of Control while he was deployed at a forward post in Naugam Sector, it said.

Sinjali (21) had joined Army in 2015 and hailed from Village Sirukhark in Baglung, Nepal.

He is survived by his wife Yashoda Sinjali and a one-year- old boy.

His mortal remains will be flown for last rites to Subathu, HP, where he would be laid to rest with full military honours.

"In this hour of grief, the Army stands in solidarity with the bereaved family of the martyr and remains committed to their dignity and wellbeing," the spokesman added.
