The killing of 28-year-old CRPF jawan G. Subramanian in a fidayeen attack at Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir has triggered shock waves among the residents of Savalaaperi near Kovilpatti. They could not believe that one of the vibrant sons of the otherwise sleepy hamlet, who actively organised sports in the village exactly a month ago, is no more.
Subramanian, who always loved ‘uniformed services’, joined the CRPF five years ago after completing ITI. He was shifted to Jammu and Kashmir following his service at Uttar Pradesh and Chennai. When he had come to Savalaaperi for ‘Pongal’, he celebrated ‘thalai Pongal’ with wife Krishnaveni at Venkatachalapuram, and actively took part in the sports events organised as part of ‘Pongal’ celebrations.
More importantly, he spent more time with his father Ganapathi as he underwent cataract surgery.
