Naik Randhir Singh Janghu of the 4th Battalion, Mahar Regiment, made the supreme sacrifice on 14 October 1987 while serving with the Indian Peace Keeping Force in Sri Lanka during Operation Pawan.
During an operation near North Kopai in the Jaffna region, his platoon came under fire from a fortified position. Naik Randhir Singh used a rocket launcher against the position, helping his platoon advance. Despite being severely wounded, he continued to engage the opposing force before succumbing to his injuries.
For his courage and devotion to duty, Naik Randhir Singh Janghu was posthumously awarded the Sena Medal.
His courage under fire and devotion to his fellow soldiers remain part of the proud history of the Indian Army and the Mahar Regiment. The Honour Post pays tribute to his service and supreme sacrifice.
