Salutes to Major Vibhuti Dhaundiyal for his supreme sacrifice and to Nikita for being commissioned as Lieutenant
Exhibiting an exemplary patriotic fervour and paying true, richest tributes to her husband Major Vibhuti Dhaundiyal ‘s supreme sacrifice for the nation, Nikita Kaul Dhaundiyal on Friday formally joined the India Army as a brave, determined and dedicated woman officer to the rank of Lieutenant at Chennai due to prevailing Covid 19 pandemic, in a simple function after passing out a gruelling eleven months military training after successfully qualifying the exams of Short Service Commission.
A Woman of grit, determination, commitment, dedication, perseverance, guts n gumption fully ready to put herself to the gruelling eleven months hard training after her husband’s supreme sacrifice at such a young age just after a year,’s marriage, Nikita Vibhuti Dhaundiyal, primarily hailing from Kashmir though working in a multinational corporation in Delhi, was heading for Delhi from Dehradun on 19 th February, 2019 in a train when all hell broke out when she received a call from Kashmir about this gruesome tragedy.
She immediately returned back while having covered half the distance shockingly stunned and grief stricken, not knowing what to do.
But restoring her composure she washed her tears and stood confident to face any eventuality in life pledging in front of her martyred husband’s Major Vibhuti Dhaundiyal, saluting him, to serve the nation with more patriotic fervour and commitment, not only to avenge his and other soldiers’ supreme sacrifices and that of her husband but also to send a message across that martyrdom, for the nation is more significant than losing one’s own most prized emotional possession.
In the presence of infinite number of people in tears paying their heartfelt tributes at Dehradun and Haridwar brave Nikita Kaul Dhaundiyal had just, after losing her everything in just a year’s time after her marriage to Major Vibhuti Dhaundiyal pledged to carry forward her husband’s flame of patriotic fervour dying for the nation, after killing two dreaded terrorists responsible for tragic Pulwama attacks that killed several army men sending across a most traumatic and shocking wave not only in the country but globally as well.
The Indian Army’s Ordinance Corps in a post in social media while paying their richest tributes to Major Vibhuti Dhaundiyal decorating him as a THUNDURER and extending their heartiest congratulations to Nikita Kaul Dhaundiyal wrote : Sua Tela Tonanti”To the thunderer – His Arms or To the Soldier – His fighting needs: Army Ordnance Corps.
Lieutenant Nitika Kaul, Brave Daughter, Veer Naari, Soldier, Inspiration, passes out of OTA after grueling military training and joins Army Ordnance Corps two years after her husband, Maj Vibhuti Dhoundiyal SC (P) bravely laid down his life in an anti-terror operation in Pulwama, J&K.
All the best, ma’am as you start your life in Olive Green. Maj Dhoundiyal would be so proud watching you at your strongest. Be the thunder and storm, always read the Army’s s post.
Kindly recall that Major Vibhuti Dhaundiyal and his four compatriots were martyred in the fateful month of February on 18 th, 2019 in the exchange of fire with coward Pakistan sponsored extremists in Kashmir when they bravely killed two hardened terrorists responsible for Pulwama attacks.
There had been lot of casualties in Jammu and Kashmir from Uttarakhand during the exchange of fire from across the border and the hardened terrorists taking precious lives of our young jawans n officers who had killed hundreds of hardened terrorists sponsored, aided and abetted by Pakistan viz of Garhwal Rifles and other regiments of Indian Army. Our salutations to them.

And she joined Indian Army as a Commissioned Lieutenant after 11 months of gruelling training.
Youngest among his three sister martyred Major Vibhuti Dhaundiyal was merely 34 yrs old and the only some of her aggreived parents.

An immensely inspiring tale of valour. It is a supreme sacrifice of Major Vibhuti Dhaundhiyal which will be written in golden words in the annals of patriots rising to the occasion and defending the motherland at the cost of their lives in the line of duty.
A brother just 35 years of age with three sisters, how difficult and heart rending it must have been for the family particularly for the newly married young wife.
It goes on to the credit of Lt. Nikita to come forward and devote herself to the service of nation in body and soul. She has set example by successfully completing her rigorous training in OTS, Chennai and commissioned as Lieutenant.
A nation is made with the blood and sweat of our frontline soldiers who firmly stand guard to motherland 24×7.
An inspiring example indeed, well reported. We do need our heros to inspire generations to come.
Long live the memory of Major Vibhuti Dhaundhiyal and i wish glorious, exciting and fulfilling future to Lt. Nilita Kaul Dhaundhiyal, truly a worthy daugher of India !
Jai Hind !
