Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha today paid his last respects to Indian Army soldier Subhankar Bhowmik, who made the supreme sacrifice while serving at the Siachen Glacier. The emotional tribute to the fallen soldier was a solemn moment, marking the loss of a brave son of the soil. Dr. Saha, along with other officials, visited the residence of Subhankar Bhowmik in Tripura to honor his memory and express solidarity with the bereaved family.
Bhowmik, who was serving as a soldier in the Indian Army, lost his life in the treacherous terrain of Siachen, one of the highest and most dangerous battlefields in the world. His death is a testament to the courage and dedication of the soldiers who serve the nation in extreme conditions, often at great personal cost. The Chief Minister, visibly moved by the tragedy, described Subhankar as a hero who gave his life in the service of the nation, protecting the borders and ensuring the safety and security of the country.
During his visit, Dr. Saha expressed his deepest condolences to Bhowmik’s family, acknowledging the immense loss they have endured.

The Chief Minister further assured that the state government would provide all possible support to the grieving family and help them cope with the loss.
In addition to his emotional tribute, Dr. Saha announced financial aid for the family of Subhankar Bhowmik. The state government has pledged immediate assistance to the soldier’s family to help alleviate the financial burden they now face. The aid is part of the government’s effort to support the families of martyrs who sacrifice everything for the nation’s safety and security. The financial assistance will help the family with various needs, including educational support, healthcare, and other essential services. The Chief Minister emphasized that such measures were necessary to honor the sacrifices of the armed forces and ensure the well-being of their families.
The death of Subhankar Bhowmik has deeply affected the people of Tripura. He was not only a soldier but a symbol of bravery and commitment, and his loss is felt by the entire state. Tributes poured in from various sections of society, with political leaders, social organizations, and citizens coming together to express their sorrow. The memory of Subhankar’s service and sacrifice will remain ingrained in the hearts of the people of Tripura for generations to come.
Bhowmik’s family, though devastated by the loss, expressed their pride in his service to the nation. His parents, who had always supported their son’s decision to join the army, spoke of his deep sense of duty and commitment.

His family expressed gratitude for the Chief Minister’s visit and the financial aid announced by the state government, which they said would provide some relief in their time of grief.
Subhankar Bhowmik’s death at such a young age serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by Indian soldiers who serve in the most perilous conditions, especially in regions like Siachen, where temperatures can drop to as low as -50°C. The glacier is known for its extreme altitudes and harsh conditions, making it one of the most challenging deployment areas for the Indian Army.

The family of Subhankar Bhowmik will continue to receive the support of the state and the people, who are united in remembering the soldier’s dedication and sacrifice.
