Botched strike
In the wake of the tragic drone strikes on aid workers in Gaza, the Israeli military's swift dismissal of two officers and reprimand of three others may seem like a step towards accountability.
Lt General Anindya Sengupta, Chief of Staff, HQ Northern Command, interacted with the Tiranga Mountain Rescue Team (TMR) led by Colonel Satish Sharma (Retd) and 21 members at Udhampur.
Tiranga Mountain Rescue Teams (TMR) were deployed in high altitude areas to provide specialised avalanche and mountain rescue cover to the troops during the winter season from November 2022 to April 2023.
Lt Gen Sengupta congratulated the team for their commendable work and lauded the efforts in protecting the troops and the civil population in remote areas from natural calamities. He referred to ‘TMR’ as a source of strength for soldiers deployed in high-risk and threat-prone areas.
