Welcome to the temple of martyrs.

The Amar Jawaan.

We are here, because they were there for us.
We are what we are, because they were the brave ones.
We are able to have whatever we want, because they gave their everything including lives to India and us.

We owe them a lot though they never asked for anything in return for their supreme sacrifice.
That is why it is even more important to give them all that we can....
At least give them our deepest respect!!

Jai Hind.
Jai Hind Ki Senaa.

Naib Subedar Bana Singh


Naib Subedar Bana Singh, born in Kadyal, Jammu on 6 January 1949, was enrolled in the Indian Army on 6 January 1969 into the Jammu & Kashmir Light Infantry (JAK LI). During June 1987, the 8 JAK LI, was deployed in the Siachen area. It was then found that a large number of Pakistani infiltrators had intruded in the Siachen Glacier.

The Pakistani intrusion had taken place at a height of 6500 metres. The enemy post was virtually an impregnable glacier fortress with ice walls, 457 metres high, on either side. Naib Subedar Bana Singh led his men through an extremely difficult and hazardous route. He inspired them by his courage and leadership. He and his men crawled and closed in on the adversary. Lobbing hand-grenades, charging with a bayonet and moving from trench to trench, he cleared the post of all intruders. Naib Subedar Bana Singh was awarded the Param Vir Chakra, the highest wartime gallantry medal, for conspicuous bravery and leadership under most adverse conditions.
