WHAT HAPPENED ?.

⭐Her Thoughts ⭐. she said to the portal, “India is a great country, I am very proud to be Indian. We as soldiers do our duty to the best we can do, and we are here to safeguard the nation all the time, so you can peacefully rest, all the time.”.

MORE ABOUTS MITALI MADHUMITA. Madhumita ran to the spot for aid, as there was no vehicular movement following the attack. To her horror, she found most of the colleagues were injured, bullets were flying, and grenade blasts were happening. She did what she was trained to do as her duty, jumped in to rescue people, unarmed. She saved as many as 19 lives, including seven Indians, trapped under the debris, and mobilised local assistance to seek medical help. Coming from a family of educationists in Orissa, Mdhumita’s mother wanted her to become a lecturer like her mother, but she chose the Army and joined in 2000. She faced her own set of trials and tribulations when her request for a permanent commission was denied since she had joined under the Short Service Commission, which allows the officer to work for a period of five to 15 years. She fought that battle until the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Lt Col Madhumita (her rank had risen).
