• Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 in response to an April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians, targeted nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir through precision strikes.
• Shravan Singh, a Class IV student from Tara Wali village near the India-Pakistan border, ran daily to bring water, milk, lassi and ice to soldiers stationed on his family’s farmland for over a week.
• On May 25, Major General Ranjit Singh Manral, General Officer Commanding of the 7th Infantry Division, felicitated Shravan as the “Youngest Civil Warrior,” presenting him a memento, a special meal and ice cream.
• His selfless service became a symbol of civilian support for armed forces in Ferozepur district and highlighted strong community bonds during the heightened military mobilization.
• Shravan dreams of joining the Indian Army when he grows up and his example inspired fellow villagers to offer supplies to troops based on his initiative.
