Widow Recalls Husband's Valor in 1965 India-Pakistan War

Vijay Kumari, a woman from Lucknow, is remembering her husband, Major Dhirendra Singh, who fought in the 1965 war.

During the war, he lost a leg from an enemy mine but still bravely fought and silenced enemy guns.

For this, he received the Vir Chakra, a war time gallantry award.

Kumari treasures his medals.

She recalls that the Prime Minister met her husband at the hospital.

After the war, he received a prosthetic leg.

Singh later had to leave the army due to medical reasons, but encouraged his sons to join.
