The Jammu and Kashmir government has approved the renaming of Kathua Railway Station in tribute to Kirti Chakra awardee and martyr Captain Sunil Kumar Choudhary. This decision, recognizing his sacrifice for the nation, has deeply touched his family, especially his father, retired Colonel P.L. Choudhary.
An official order has been issued to rename the railway station in Kathua district to commemorate Captain Choudhary’s supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. The move is viewed as a gesture of respect towards the fallen officer and a reaffirmation of the Union Territory’s commitment to honoring armed forces personnel’s sacrifices.
Captain Choudhary’s father, Col. P.L. Choudhary, commended the government’s initiative to name public institutions after martyrs, emphasizing the positive impact on inspiring children to serve the nation. He highlighted the importance of such gestures in motivating young minds and fostering a spirit of patriotism.
Reacting to the decision, Col. Choudhary shared his belief that children from military families are often inspired by the uniform and the service ethos. He expressed how witnessing the dedication and sacrifice of family members in the armed forces serves as a powerful motivator for the younger generation to excel and contribute to the nation’s defense.
