Digital Desk: The entire Sivasagar region is in deep mourning following the tragic demise of Ramen Baruah (Lalit), a brave Border Security Force (BSF) jawan who lost his life while on duty in Ladakh.
On the night of April 18, the 34-year-old soldier succumbed to extreme weather conditions during heavy snowfall while performing his duties.
