Constable Anil Kumar Kapri, 133 BN CRPF
The 133rd Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force was deployed in Senapati district, Manipur, for anti-insurgency operations. On 1 November 1997, during an operation, the troops came under attack from insurgents entrenched behind fortified positions.
Despite the challenging terrain and the sudden ambush, the CRPF personnel launched a fierce counterattack. They advanced against the attackers in a determined effort to overcome the ambush. The ensuing gunfight left several personnel injured, but the troops continued pressing forward and eventually forced the insurgents to retreat with their wounded.
Ten personnel of the battalion succumbed to their injuries despite being evacuated. Constable Anil Kumar Kapri was among those who made the supreme sacrifice on 1 November 1997.
The Honour Post pays tribute to Constable Anil Kumar Kapri of 133 BN CRPF. His service and sacrifice in Manipur are remembered with respect and gratitude.
