In two states separated by distance but united in grief, bodies of two brave Indian army officers, Lt Col Ranjit Singh from Uttarakhand and Major Manoj Kumar from Kerala, were laid to rest today with full military honours. The two died fighting the devastating fire at Asia's largest arms depot in Maharashtra's Pulgaon on Tuesday. As officers-in-charge of the internal security, at Army's Central Ammunition Depot, the two made desperate bids to safeguard the ammunition stocked in the depot, before they died as the anti-tank mines went caught fire.
