Kurnool/Hyderabad: Full military honour was accorded to Sepoy Mushtaq Ahmed when his mortal remains reached the Begumpet airport on Monday by a special Indian Air Force aircraft from New Delhi.
The mortal remains were kept on a Gun Carrier at the civil area of the airport where senior officers from Army, Air Force and Navy paid homage by laying wreaths.
Prominent among them, who laid wreaths were Lieutenant General Gurumukh Singh, Commandant MCEME, Major General S Pachory, General Officer Commanding Telangana and Andhra Sub Area (TASA), Brigadier Atul Kaushik, Deputy GOC Bison Division, Rear Admiral K Srinivas, Director DMDE, Air Commodore S Badiyal, Begumpet Air Force Station and Brigadier Ajai Singh Negi, Deputy GOC and Station Commander Telangana and Andhra Sub Area.
Wreaths were also laid by Madras Regiment and over 20 different Indian Army units. Civil dignitaries and police also represented in laying wreaths to pay homage to the departed brave soul.
Army Jawans accorded gun salute to the departed soldier. The mortal remains were carried in an ambulance to his native village Parnapally near Nandyal in Kurnool district, where the mortal remains of Sepoy Mushtaq Ahmed would be laid to rest with full military honours on Tuesday.
He left behind his wife and aged parents to whom the nation will be ever grateful. Sepoy S Mushtaq Ahmed, hailing from Nandyal in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, had enrolled in the 19th Battalion the Madras Regiment on September 21, 2004. He had served as part of his battalion in Counter Insurgency Operations in the North East and in J&K. He had also served in the Rashtriya Rifles (RR) force in Jammu and Kashmir.
He was a keen sportsman and had volunteered to be part of one of the most crucial posts in the Icy Siachen Glacier at an altitude of 19,600 ft in sub-zero temperature. Later, his body was shifted to native village in Kurnool district.
It was on February 3, 2016, when an avalanche swept away one Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) and nine Other Ranks (ORs) in the Siachen Glacier while they were on duty. Lance Naik Hanumantappa was found alive after five days, during the search operation and evacuated to Army Hospital (R&R), New Delhi, where he later succumbed to cold-related complications. The nine other brave hearts including Sepoy S Mushtaq Ahmed aged 30 years of the 19th Battalion the Madras Regiment lost their lives life after getting buried under snow.
