The mortal remains of Havaldar N S Rawat, who was killed in the Uri terror attack, were consigned to flames with full military honour in his native village in Rajsamand district of Rajasthan.
There was hardly a dry eye when Rawat's five-year-old son, Chandan Singh, lit the funeral pyre with the soldier's daughters standing nearby.
A large number of people from the jawan's village and adjacent areas gathered at the funeral site in Rajwa to pay homage to him. Udaipur IG Anand Srivastava and Collector Archana Singh also paid tributes to the soldier.
The gun salute was given to him by police and 6 Rajputana Rifles during the wreathe laying ceremony at the cremation ground.
The mortal remains of Havaldar Rawat were yesterday received by the local army unit, his family members and representatives of the civil administration in Udaipur.
Rawat, who was killed in the terrorist attack at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district, is survived by wife Rodi Devi, four daughters -- Payal, Deepa, Lata, Asha -- and son Chandan.
The terror attack, believed to be carried out by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), left 18 army jawans killed and more than 20 injured.
