JAMMU: Balbir Ram Rattan, Jammu Kashmir BJP Spokesperson and former Vice Chairman, has termed the renaming of Kathua Railway Station as “Martyr Captain Sunil Kumar Choudhary Kathua Railway Station” a true, historic, and deeply meaningful tribute to the supreme sacrifice of a brave son of the soil. He said the decision reflects the nation’s gratitude towards its heroes who lay down their lives for the safety, unity, and honour of the country.
Welcoming the official sanction issued by the orders of the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor, Balbir Ram Rattan said that Martyr Captain Sunil Kumar Choudhary was not only an outstanding officer of the Indian Army but also a symbol of courage, discipline, and patriotism. Naming a major public institution after him ensures that his legacy will remain alive in public memory for generations to come.
He emphasized that the renaming is not a routine administrative act but a powerful national message. A railway station is a place connected with the daily lives of thousands of citizens. Every traveller who reads the name of this station will pause, reflect, and remember the sacrifice made by Captain Choudhary for the nation. This is how a martyr continues to inspire even after attaining immortality, Balbir mentioned.
Highlighting the significance for the younger generation, Balbir Ram Rattan said that such decisions play a vital role in shaping values among youth. At a time when young minds are exposed to distractions and superficial achievements, this renaming reminds them that the highest form of success is service to the nation. It teaches them courage, responsibility, and love for the motherland.
He further said that honouring martyrs through public landmarks strengthens the emotional bond between the armed forces and civil society. This decision conveys a clear message that the nation never forgets its heroes. It reinforces respect for the armed forces and instills a sense of national pride among citizens.
Balbir Ram Rattan expressed gratitude to the Lieutenant Governor and the administration for recognizing the sacrifice of Martyr Captain Sunil Kumar Choudhary in such a dignified and lasting manner. He urged citizens, especially students and youth, to learn about the life, values, and bravery of the martyr and draw inspiration to contribute positively to society and the nation.
