SHIMLA: The body of Karam Chand Katoch, a soldier of the Dogra Regiment, was brought to his hometown of Palampur in Himachal Pradesh on Wednesday, 48 years after he was killed in the 1962 war with China.
Army officials identified Katoch's body and handed it over to members of his family in Agojar village near Palampur. “I feel very proud to be a member of his family, and I salute him from the depth of my heart,” said Raju, the soldier's nephew.
Disappeared in the mountains
Katoch joined the Army in 1959 in the 4th Dogra Regiment when he was 19.
At the age of 22, he disappeared somewhere in the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh during the Sino-Indian war in 1962. His body was recovered from a melting glacier. — ANI
