RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA---------------------------Danish Alam, a son of the soil from Kayamnagar village in the Koilwar block of Bhojpur district, served in the Indian Air Force as an 'Agniveer,' driven by a spirit of service to the nation. He attained martyrdom in a tragic AN-32 aircraft crash at the Jorhat Air Force Station in Assam. This heart-wrenching incident has plunged the entire district of Bhojpur, and indeed all of Bihar, into mourning.

Danish Alam chose the path of serving his country at a young age and made the ultimate sacrifice—laying down his life—while discharging his duty. News of his martyrdom sent a wave of grief across the village, the region, and the entire district. While this is an irreparable loss for his family, friends, and loved ones, the nation will forever cherish his spirit of sacrifice, courage, and patriotism.

Five Air Force personnel, including Danish Alam, lost their lives in the AN-32 aircraft crash in Jorhat, Assam. The entire nation salutes this supreme sacrifice.

"This brave son of Bhojpur will always live on in our hearts. The nation will never forget Danish Alam's martyrdom. May the Almighty grant forgiveness to the departed, bestow upon him a high place in *Jannat-ul-Firdous* (Paradise), and grant the bereaved family the strength to bear this loss with patience."

A heartfelt tribute, *Fateha*, and deepest condolences to the late Danish Alam.
