Shaurya Chakra Awardee Colonel Navjot Singh Bal, Loses Battle with Cancer
Col Navjot Singh Bal, A Shaurya Chakra awardee and former commandant of the two Para, passed away on Thursday in Bengaluru. He was 39. For the past two years, Col Bal has been battling cancer. Col Bal, who comes from a military family, was assigned to the Northern Command's Operation section during the 2016 surgical strikes. His death is being lamented within the Army, particularly by Special Forces members for whom he was a living icon. "Col Navjot Singh Bal was involved in many anti-terror operations and was a living symbol in uniform," stated an unidentified Para officer. Navjot Singh Bal received the Shaurya Chakra during an operation in Kashmir's Lolab Valley where he and a colleague pursued a group of terrorists and shot two of them dead in close battle.
