Bhubaneswar: The mortal remains of the Odia jawan Saroj Kumar Das, who was martyred in the Sikkim flash floods, arrived at Bhubaneswar airport. According to reports upon arrival, the Odia jawan was awarded the Guard of honour.

The mortal remains of the jawan Saroj Kumar Das, who lost his life in a tragic incident in Sikkim, returned to his home state, Odisha today.

The Odia jawan Saroj Kumar Das was among the 23 army personnel who went missing missing due to a flash flood in the Teesta River in North Sikkim.

The journey to honour Saroj Kumar Das has commenced as his mortal remains have been brought back. It will then be taken to the battalion unit office, from where they will be flown to his hometown.

Following the ceremony, the procession will make its way to the office of the Dhenkanal District Collector. The district administration will pay their respects to Saroj Das, acknowledging his sacrifice for the nation.

From there, the procession will proceed to Kendudip in Dighi panchayat, Kamakshanagar, Dhenkanal. The final journey will conclude at the village crematorium, where the last rites will be performed.

The district administration has assured Saroj Das’s family of unwavering support during this challenging time. He recently got married in February and has been serving as an EME Jawan in the army since 2012.

It is to be noted there that the sudden cloud burst over the Lhonak Lake triggered a flash flood in the Teesta River around 1.30 AM. It was compounded by the release of water from the Chungthang dam that led to a sudden increase in water levels up to 15-20 feet high downstream.
