Capt. Shailesh Rialch, a dedicated and valiant officer, served with his Workshop Company as part of an Infantry Brigade in South Kashmir during a period of heightened insurgency. On the night of November 23, 1999, upon receiving intelligence about terrorists in a village, Shailesh volunteered for a Cordon and Search Operation. Displaying extraordinary bravery, he prevented a terrorist from breaking the cordon and escaping on the morning of November 24. In the ensuing gunfight, Shailesh was mortally wounded, making the ultimate sacrifice for his country. For his exceptional courage, he was posthumously awarded the Sena Medal. Remembered fondly as 'Rambo' by his comrades from the 91st Course of the National Defence Academy, Shailesh was known for his cheerful disposition, his ability to lift spirits, and his unwavering dedication. His legacy of bravery and kindness lives on in the hearts of those who knew him.
