In a solemn yet patriotic farewell echoing with chants of Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Lieutenant Vinay Narwal of the Indian Navy, who lost his life in a recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, was cremated with full military honours in Karnal’s Shivpuri locality on Wednesday. The heart-wrenching ceremony was attended by a sea of mourners, including Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who paid his last respects to the fallen hero and stood firmly with the bereaved family, offering both condolences and assurance of state support.
The air in Shivpuri was heavy with grief, yet filled with pride as the tricolour-draped coffin of Lt. Narwal was escorted by uniformed personnel for his final rites. As Navy personnel presented a military salute, the community gathered in strength to honour the sacrifice of a brave son of the soil whose life was claimed in a cowardly act of terror that shocked the nation. CM Nayab Singh Saini, along with Speaker of the Haryana Assembly Harvinder Kalyan, MLAs Jagmohan Anand and Yogendra Rana, BJP State President Mohan Lal Badoli, and representatives from various political, religious, and social organisations, joined hands in this collective expression of national mourning and solidarity.
Speaking at the funeral, CM Saini strongly condemned the attack, calling it a cowardly and inhumane assault on both an individual and the ideals of humanity. He vowed that those responsible would not be spared and promised the strongest possible action against the perpetrators. “This is not just a loss for the family or for Haryana, but a loss for the entire country,” said the Chief Minister. “Lt. Vinay Narwal was a brave warrior, and his sacrifice will not go in vain. The government, both at the state and central levels, stands shoulder to shoulder with the grieving family.”
He further assured the people that strict steps are being taken to identify and bring the attackers to justice. The Chief Minister also invoked divine blessings for Lt. Narwal’s soul, praying that the Supreme Power grant him peace and strength to the family to endure this irreplaceable loss. Emphasizing the values of service and sacrifice that the young officer represented, Saini reaffirmed the Haryana government’s unwavering support to his kin, underlining that the nation must honour its martyrs not just in words but through lasting commitment and justice.
The poignant funeral ceremony became a powerful reminder of the cost paid by India’s armed forces to safeguard national integrity and peace. As floral tributes adorned the funeral pyre and gun salutes cracked the sky, a wave of sorrow and patriotism swept through the crowd. The state of Haryana stood united in mourning, even as it strengthened its resolve against terrorism.
Lieutenant Vinay Narwal’s martyrdom has stirred a deep sense of national grief and collective responsibility. His sacrifice, remembered with pride and reverence, has brought forth renewed calls for robust action against forces that continue to challenge the country’s internal security. As the flames consumed the pyre, the resolve of a grateful state and nation burned brighter than ever—to protect, to honour, and to never forget.
