Paratrooper Sanjog Chettri of 9 PARA (SF) was part of a team tasked for neutralizing terrorist locations. He led a team of 20 commandos in carrying out operations at Hill Kaka in Jammu and Kashmir. The commandos approached the terrorist hideout and drew heavy automatic fire. Sensing danger for his fellow commandos, he assaulted the mountain hideout after crawling 100 yards and killed one terrorist.
Despite the gunshot wounds he sustained and the profuse bleeding, he killed one more terrorist and offered an opportunity for his team to engage the remaining terrorists effectively. The commando team killed all the remaining terrorists. He later succumbed to his injuries.
The government conferred the Ashok Chakra, India’s highest peacetime gallantry award, on this 21-year-old Army Paratrooper who laid down his life in Operation Sarp Vinash. Chettri was born on the Republic Day of 1982, in Sikkim. A resident of South Sikkim District’s Namchi tehsil, he had lost his father when he was very young. Thereafter, he and his sister Sangeeta were adopted by their father’s elder brother. Sanjog Chettri joined the Army in March 2001, and was later selected for the exclusive 9 Para (Special Forces), which has been constantly in action in J&K, ever since the beginning of militancy in the state in the late 80s.
