14 October 2001 | A Braveheart of the Border Security Force
Head Constable Dalbir Singh of the 128th Battalion, Border Security Force, made the supreme sacrifice on 14 October 2001 at Kwakta in Manipur. His name is recorded in the force's memorial roll alongside Constable Kunwar Pal and Head Constable Sunder Pal, who also made the supreme sacrifice at the same location on that date.
The memorial record associates the incident with counter-insurgency duties at the Kwakta post and action against armed non-state elements. It preserves the location and date of the sacrifice, establishing the security context in which the personnel lost their lives.
Service at a counter-insurgency post requires personnel to remain prepared for threats while carrying out their assigned responsibilities. Such deployments demand vigilance, discipline and readiness. Head Constable Dalbir Singh served as part of the 128th Battalion, BSF, in this challenging environment.
The loss of three personnel associated with the same battalion at Kwakta on one date makes 14 October 2001 a significant entry in the memorial record. Each name represents an individual life and a separate commitment to service. Head Constable Dalbir Singh's sacrifice deserves to be remembered in his own right, alongside the personnel who shared the same date and location.
Head Constable Dalbir Singh, The Honour Post pays tribute to your service and supreme sacrifice at Kwakta.
