It’s true that you can never put a price on human lives. It is also true that the Indian Army goes beyond the call of duty for Indian citizens to the extent of saving their lives even if it risks their own. And a similar incident was seen on 15th July, when some Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Jawans jumped in a raging river to save the life of a 14-year old girl.
A video that has gone viral on Twitter shows CRPF men risking their lives to save a young girl from drowning in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir.

This is yet another example set by IAF about how they carry out their duty towards the country and countrymen. Only a few days ago, Indian Army broke protocol to deliver the remains of a drowned kid to his family on humanitarian grounds.
It’s never easy to risk your own lives to save someone else’s. Indian armed forces could never get enough respect for what they do for our country.
