Constable Gurudayal Singh of the 128th Battalion, Border Security Force, made the supreme sacrifice on 13 October 1996 while fighting terrorists in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.
He was serving at a time when BSF personnel deployed in the region faced the dangers of counter-terrorism duties. His martyrdom came in the course of an engagement with terrorists, while he was carrying out his responsibilities in the service of the nation.
The available record identifies the date, unit and location of his supreme sacrifice, but does not establish further tactical details of the encounter. His service and sacrifice deserve to be remembered without adding unsupported accounts to his story.
The Honour Post pays tribute to Constable Gurudayal Singh, remembering his service and supreme sacrifice.
