IPKF soldiers in Sri Lanka in the ’80sIPKF soldiers in Sri Lanka in the ’80sIPKF soldiers in Sri Lanka in the ’80s12 NEW DELHI: In a move that will assuage veterans of Indian Peace Keeping Force in Sri Lanka in the late-1980s, the Army chief will pay homage at National War Memorial on Tuesday to honour the sacrifice of Param Vir Chakra awardee Major Ramaswamy Parameswaran and other soldiers during Operation Pawan.This will be the first official memorial in India of this scale for military personnel who laid down their lives during the operation. NWM doesn’t have any plaque recognising the sacrifice of the army during the tough operation.Gen Upendra Dwivedi and vice chief Lt Gen Pushpendra Singh will lay wreaths at NWM to honour the 1,171 Indian soldiers who died – another 3,500 were wounded – during Operation Pawan.It was India’s first large-scale overseas military operation that began in October 1987 to bring peace by disarming Tamil militant groups like LTTE, but ended on a bitter note with the Sri Lankan govt demanding IPKF’s withdrawal in early-1990.IPKF veterans have for a long time been demanding official designation of a day to remember Operation Pawan on the lines of commemoration of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and the 1999 Kargil conflict. IPKF received numerous gallantry medals – which included the PVC for Maj Parameswaran, who died on Nov 25 in 1987 – and 98 Vir Chakras.”While Sri Lanka built a memorial for IPKF in Colombo, there has been no formal day of commemoration in India so far to honour those soldiers. A group of IPKF veterans, widows and families quietly gather at the NWM every year to pay homage, but they are essentially private ceremonies,” an IPKF veteran said.Army vice chief Lt-Gen Singh, who was commissioned into 4 Para-Special Forces in Dec 1987, incidentally was seriously injured as a young second-lieutenant in a firefight between his unit deployed under IPKF and LTTE in July 1989.”The gesture reflects the Army’s collective respect for the bravehearts and reinforces the enduring bond between serving personnel, veterans and families of the fallen, united in remembering those who gave their today for the nation’s tomorrow,” an officer said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosSpectacular Tribute: 350th Martyrdom Day of Guru Tegh Bahadur Marked with Light-&-Sound ShowSecond Day of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s 350th Martyrdom Tribute Marked with Devotion in Punjab“Indian market offers smooth trade opportunities,” says ASSOCHAM Secretary‘Why?

PTI file photo An Indian sailor was killed and several others injured after a wooden dhow carrying Indian crew members caught fire near the Strait of Hormuz.Seventeen other Indian crew members were rescued following the incident on Friday, while authorities continue to ascertain the exact cause of the blaze.According to sources, the crew members were rescued by a passing vessel operating in the area.”A wooden Dhow, carrying general cargo, with 18 Indian crew capsized yesterday close to the Strait of Hormuz after it caught fire,” a source was quoted as saying by PTI. “In this incident, one Indian on the dhow died while four received burn injuries. The injured are receiving medical treatment in Dubai and are safe,” the source added. Officials from the Indian Consulate in Dubai met the rescued Indian nationals on Friday night, another source said.The consulate is also in contact with the owner of the dhow and is extending all possible assistance to the affected crew members, the sources said. The incident occurred amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime chokepoint linking the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman through which a substantial share of the world’s oil supplies transit.The two countries exchanged fires in the strategically vital waterway, a route that carries nearly one-fifth of global oil and natural gas shipments, despite a truce announced between the sides on April 7.The US Central Command said it carried out strikes on Iran after three US Navy guided-missile destroyers allegedly came under attack from Iranian missiles, drones and small boats in the Strait of Hormuz.Earlier, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters accused the United States of violating the ceasefire by attacking an Iranian oil tanker and another vessel near the strategic waterway. The Iranian military command also alleged that the US had targeted civilian areas, including Qeshm Island, as cited by Al Jazeera.US President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to play down the clashes, saying the ceasefire remained in force, while Iran’s state-run Press TV reported that the situation had returned “back to normal”.Shipping activity through the strait has remained near standstill since late February amid fears of Iranian attacks on oil tankers navigating the route, which carries a significant share of the world’s energy supplies.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
