Nearly a year after Operation Sindoor, the government has formally honoured six Indian Armed Forces personnel who laid down their lives during the cross-border operation in May 2025 by entering their names in the National War Memorial’s Roll of Honour.
Their names will now be permanently inscribed on the Tyag Chakra (Circle of Sacrifice), the memorial’s central commemorative wall, marking the nation’s enduring tribute to their supreme sacrifice.
The delay in putting their names on National War Memorial was not an attempt to conceal casualties but the result of a structured administrative and legal process followed by the Indian Armed Forces before any battle casualty is officially recorded and commemorated at the National War Memorial.
