Saluting Those Who Go Beyond The Call of Duty

Saluting Those Who Go Beyond The Call of Duty

Captain Anshuman Singh, a dedicated doctor in the armed forces, was recently awarded the Kirti Chakra, India's second-highest peacetime gallantry award. On the night of July 19, 2023, a short circuit led to a fire in an Indian Army ammunition dump at the camp where he was posted. Captain Singh saw a fibreglass hut engulfed in flames and immediately acted to save those trapped inside. He successfully rescued four to five individuals, however, the fire soon spread to a nearby medical investigation room. Captain Singh went back into the blazing structure. Despite his efforts, he could not escape the inferno, and was trapped inside before succumbing. Captain Singh's courageous actions and his commitment to healing the wounded under dire circumstances exemplify his extraordinary service and heroism.
