Tarn Taran, December 30
A pall of gloom gripped native Vein Poin village as residents learnt about the martyrdom of Sepoy Jasbir Singh in an encounter with terrorists in Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir, today.
Born on February 25, 1995, to a marginal Jat Sikh family of Gurbhej Singh and Sukhwinder Kaur, who own two and a half acres of agriculture land, Jasbir had joined the Indian Army on December 28, 2014.
He is survived by his father, mother, a younger brother and an elder sister. His sister lives with the family after separating from her husband. The family was making arrangements for Jasbir’s marriage.
He had visited home in October. On November 18, he reported for duty on the promise of returning around the New Year. — OC
