On 7th December 2020 , 15 year old ,Cadet Amit Raj of Sainik School Purulia , was in his house in Bihar , when he heard shouting from the neighborhood! . Upon stepping out of the house he realized that his neighbors house was on fire and three children were trapped inside 1/n
Without any care for his personal safety , he rushed inside the house and managed to pull out two children. He had already suffered 85% burns in the process and totally exhausted from the efforts . He realized that one more child was trapped inside and had to be rescued . 2/n
With his own body badly burned , he once again rushed inside the burning house and pulled out the third child from the fire . In the process he suffered further burns at 95%. All three children were safe . The brave heart was brought to Delhi . 3/n
He breathed his last on the 13th December 2020 . How many of us really heard about this heroic story ? How many of us spared a thought for this brave young man ? At 15 years old , the world was his oyster , but he chose to save lives of fellow humans , living up to the ethos 4/n

The flying was heavy as all the ballot boxes were being transported by helicopters .We were operating a single Mi8 detachment at Imphal . Night parking was at the Manipur University Helipad. We started our day at 0700h and had been flying for 7hours. 1/n
It was 5 pm. Exhausted after a heavy days flying I was ready to retire to our rooms. As I was shutting down the helicopter , I saw a BSF Jeep pull alongside the Helipad with a commandant rank officer jump out. The urgency in his moves told me something was not right . 2/n
As the helicopter was being shutdown by the flight engineer , I asked the co pilot to take controls and walked out towards the BSF officer .The helicopter blades were still turning. The officer told me that a BSF party has been ambushed near likhai and they have 7 injured 3/n
