Agniveer Naveen Jakhar, a young soldier from Salhawas village in Jhajjar district of Haryana, passed away on 23 April 2025 while serving in Jammu and Kashmir. Just 20 years old, Naveen had joined the Indian Army under the Agnipath scheme soon after completing his 12th-grade education. Full of dreams and determination, he chose the path of service at a very young age. He belonged to a proud family. His father, Ajay Jakhar, is a farmer, while his brother Lokesh Jakhar is also serving the nation as an Agniveer in Jammu and Kashmir. At the time of the incident, Naveen was deployed in the Baramulla sector. During a practice drill/training session on 23 April 2025, he was accidentally shot and sustained critical injuries. Despite all efforts, he could not be saved and passed away in the line of duty. On 25 April 2025, his mortal remains wrapped in the tricolour reached his native village, where thousands gathered to pay tribute. He was cremated with full military honours. His sacrifice at such a young age will always be remembered by the nation. India salutes Agniveer Naveen Jakhar.
