The Operation in Dhalai District
On the morning of 24 October 2006, a party of 133 Battalion was moving to dominate an area between Gandacherra and Ganganagar in Dhalai district. The movement was intended to allow a road-opening party to reach and secure its positions.
During the operation, unidentified armed extremists opened fire and lobbed grenades at the troops. The personnel returned fire. After hearing the exchange, another party rushed towards the ambush point and engaged the attackers. High-explosive ammunition was also used against the positions occupied by the extremists.
Constable/Bugler Sharwan Kumar Singh and Constable Shyam Dev Das lost their lives during the incident. Their names are recorded together in the CRPF's account of the operation.
