Saga of Valor & Supreme Sacrifice
In April 1948, 2nd Lt Rama Raghoba Rane made history by clearing minefields and massive pine tree roadblocks along the Naushera-Rajouri road under withering machine gun and artillery fire. Wounded and bleeding, he crawled ahead of Indian tanks, blasting passages with hand mines for 72 continuous hours, enabling Indian armor to capture Rajouri and save thousands of innocent citizens.
