Mangalore, August 15: When the whole country is celebrating the 66th Independence Day on Wednesday, the family of Krishnappa Gowda, the soldier from Belthangady who was found dead at the border in Punjab, mourned his untimely death.

His body was brought from Punjab to Mangalore in a passenger flight today in a wooden crate. His younger brother Prakash, uncle Shyam Sundar and several relatives had come to receive his body at the Mangalore Airport. It has been learnt that he died in the crossfire that took place between India and Pakistan at Firozpur Zone near Indo-Pak border in Punjab on Sunday night.

At the airport, Dakshina Kannada District-in-charge minister C.T. Ravi, Deputy Speaker Yogish Bhat, MLC Monappa Bhandary, Zilla Panchayat CEO Dr. K.N. Vijayprakash, Mangalore City Corporation Commissioner Harish Kumar, Dakshina Kannada SP Abhishek Goyal paid homage to the dead Army officer.

29 year old Krishnappa was a non-commisioned officer in the Indian Army, who had gotten married exactly two months prior to his death, and had left home a month ago. He had been in the Army for 12 years and had been promoted to the post of a non-commissioned officer recently. His wife Latha is a lecturer at S.K.F. Industrial Centre at Moodbidri.

The deceased officer was a resident of Manjotty at Nada village in Belthangady taluk. He had two sisters and two younger brothers. His family received the news of his death on Monday.

So far, we have not heard from the district-in-charge, district officer or the Tahsildar. Only a couple of people like Pratap Simha Nayak (BJP leader) came up to us, said Mr. Shyam Sundar.
