Residents of Basilpur village in Bihar's Siwan district on Wednesday bid adieu to a soldier, Rambabu Singh who died early on Tuesday morning after receiving fatal injuries during an operation in Jammu and Kashmir late on May 12.

They felt pride over the supreme sacrifice made by son of the soil for the sake of the nation's sovereignty.
"We are proud of our son of the soil for his supreme sacrifice for the sake of the nation's sovereignty. His sacrifice will never go in vain. He laid down his life for the sake of 'Bharat Mata'. The entire village is proud of him," Ganesh Prasad Singh, a resident of Basilpur village, told this reporter over the phone soon after the body of Rambabu arrived on Wednesday afternoon.
The shocking news, however, came barely five months after Rambabu's marriage. Rambabu (28) married Kumari Anajali Singh, a resident of Dhanbad in neighbouring Jharkhand, on December 14, 2024. Anjali is now carrying a pregnancy of about four months. She rushed to her in-laws' house in Siwan after hearing the shocking news.
