Forgotten heroes

The excessive media coverage of the death of Lance Naik Hanamanthappa Koppad is a grave injustice to the sacrifice of the other nine soldiers who died in the avalanche that hit an Army base on Siachen Glacier. While politicians and military officials rushed to attend the funeral of Koppad, the sacrifice of nine others went unnoticed. We don’t even know their names. The media should be reporting in a balanced manner.
