Mortal remains of Lance Naik Mool Raj were today consigned to flames with full militarty honours at his native village in the district.
Mool Raj was such a man who always wanted to be in the thick of action, the family said.
Mool Raj, father of two had fallen to the bullets of terrorists in Pathankot, just a day after he returned to join his duties after celebrating the New Year with his family which consists his aged mother, wife and two college going Children.
Before returning to join his duties in Pathankot, he took a promise from his children that one day they would make him feel proud.
"Instead he made us proud! Though the lacuna that his absence has created in our life will never be fulfilled, but we are proud to have a father like him", said Asish Kumar son of Mooj Raj.
Mool Raj, who had joined the Defense Security Corps (DSC) after his retirement from the army 13 years ago, was one amongst the seven brave martyrs who laid down their lives while fighting the terrorists who attacked the Air Force base in Pathankot.
Thousands of people from various parts of Jammu region including the State Minister for Industries, Chander Prakash Ganga, senior Congress leader and former minister Manjeet Singh, senior Army, Police and Air Force officers, today bid their final adieu to the brave son of the soil.
