History :

"Mortal remains of Lance Naik Balbir Singh, who laid down his life for the nation at Palan Wala sector of Akhnoor during cross-border shelling on Monday evening, were consigned to flames by his 10-year-old son, Devinder, at Maksudra village, near here. Constables of the Punjab Police reversed their arms in martyr’s honour. They also fired shots in his honour. His only surviving son, Sikander Singh, is presently posted in the Dera Baba Nanak Unit of the Sikh Regiment."
