Bharanikavu native lone Keralite in ‘Rifle Women’ unit deployed in Ganderbal
Growing up, Athira K. Pillai dreamed of following in her father’s footsteps and becoming a soldier. Her cherished dream came true four years ago when she joined Assam Rifles, the oldest paramilitary force in India. Ms. Pillai, then 21-year-old, from Bharanikavu in Alappuzha left for the Northeast so excited as it was her chance to serve the nation as a servicewoman. After serving in volatile Nagaland and Manipur, she moved to conflict-ridden Jammu and Kashmir earlier this year.More Related News
