The mortal remains of Malkhan Singh, an Indian soldier who tragically lost his life in an air crash 56 years ago in the treacherous terrains of Siachen, were finally returned to his native village of Fatehpur in the Nanauta area of Saharanpur district. Singh, who died at the age of 23, was brought home on Wednesday, bringing closure to his family and community after decades of waiting. His remains were transported from the Sarasawa Air Force Station in a military vehicle, where villagers welcomed him with flowers, slogans of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Shaheed Malkhan Singh Amar Rahe.”
