New Delhi/Paradip: Odisha native Major Prabhanjan Padhy of Indian Army was conferred with Sena Medal (gallantry) during Army Day parade in New Delhi, recently.
The 30-year-old received the gallantry award from President Droupadi Murmu.
Major Padhy had exhibited exceptional courage in anti-terrorism operations while serving as the Company Commander of a Rashtriya Rifles Battalion in Jammu and Kashmir. He crawled his way to eliminate terrorists without causing harm to civilians or casualties among his men during a intense firefight.
