Mansa, September 3
Border Security Force Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Kamaljit Singh, who was killed in firing by Pakistani soldiers at Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir, was cremated with state honours at his Nangal Kalan village here today.

His son Navdeep Singh lighted the pyre. A large number of family members, villagers, leaders of political parties and officials were present during the cremation.

Earlier during the day, a pall of gloom descended upon the village when Kamaljit’s body was brought to the village.

Mourners crowded the martyr’s house as they paid their tributes. Kamaljit’s wife Karamjit Kaur and daughter Ramanjit Kaur were inconsolable.
