Constable Amersh Choudhary, 133 BN CRPF
On 1 November 1997, personnel of the 133rd Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force were conducting anti-insurgency operations in Senapati district, Manipur. During an operation, the troops were ambushed by insurgents who had established fortified positions in the difficult terrain.
The CRPF party launched a fierce counterattack, advancing against the attackers despite the intensity of the fighting. Several personnel sustained injuries during the ensuing gunbattle. The troops continued their efforts and ultimately forced the insurgents to retreat with their wounded.
Although the injured personnel were evacuated, ten bravehearts of the battalion succumbed to their injuries. Constable Amersh Choudhary was among those who made the supreme sacrifice on 1 November 1997.
The Honour Post remembers Constable Amersh Choudhary with honour and gratitude. His service and sacrifice in Manipur remain an enduring part of the CRPF’s history.
