Body of Shahid Jawan Kachrabhai Malam was cremated with guard of honor in martyr’s native village Sangavada in Gujarat.
26-year old Kachrabhai was in Gorkha Regiment. He died in heavy snow amidst freezing minus 40 degree temperature and disturbed windy atmosphere during search duty on last post of Indian border in Leh-Ladakh sector of Jammu & Kashmir. Kachrabhai had joined Armed force in 2003.
Martyred Jawan’s body arrived in his native village at 5 pm. The villagers shouted patriotic slogans. Local MLA, Deputy Collector, Militery Jawans and Police staff was present here amidst ocean of villagers also from surrounding villages.
Kachrabhai’s wife Ratanben is 3-month pregnant. She felled in unconsciousness soon after she came to know about her husband’s death as Kacharabhai’s body arrived. Though Kachrabhai’s death occurred on 31st January, and news arrived next morning, the relatives had not informed Ratanben about her husband’s death to prevent her from shock.
Kachrabhai’s father Sarmanbhai and elder brother Kantibhai are small-time farmers active at their 6-Bigha field.
It should be mentioned that Sangavada village has population of just 1500 people. At least 11 youngsters of this village are serving the Indian Army.

MAY GOD BLESS HIS SOUL AND GIVE HIM PEACE. MY PRAYERS WITH THE WIFE AND FAMILY TO BEAR THIS PAIN. KACHARABHAI AMAR RAHO.
I am sure he must have died because of inadequate clothing. I had been to Toronto, Canada where temperature foes to -40 many a times but nobody dies. This is because people have suitable jackets etc.
Our corrupt politicians and Army top notch people buy sub standard materials for Army people – that is a well known fact. Remember Coffin Scandal? When those thick skin animals (Sorry it is disrespect to animals) will improve? Only God has the answer.
Japan,
It will be wonderful if people with a good soul like yours start an organization helping individuals directly.
I SUPPROT IDEA WITH MR KENT.GUJARAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD START SPECIAL FUND FROM GUJARATI PEOPLEFOR JAWANS,POLICE,AND COMMANDO.WHO LOST THEIR LIFE IN RIOTS,OPERATION OR ON BORDER.
I hope she is offered a job by government or a social institution
It is criminal that the Indian jawans are not given mountain survival training and proper mountain clothes.
Gujarat Government should ask its members of Parlament to ask questions about unavailability proper clothes shoes and Mountain survival training and shelters for Jawans and ask Defence Ministers apology and compensation to the Gujarati Rastra and the Jawans family.
There should be a court inquest in death of the Jawan in Gujarati court where the Guilty commanding officers be punished for negligence.
_40 is normal in Europe and Canada Alaska, only homeless people without adequate shelters, and coats die.
