The arrival of the ‘Swarnim Vijay Mashaal’ (Victory Flame) in the capital on Saturday was an occasion to remember a hero from this city whose brave actions in the eastern sector during the 1971 Indo-Pak war won him the Vir Chakra. During the war, Raman Pillai Gopakumar, a young Army captain at the time, was posted as GSO-3 (Intelligence) at the Eastern Command. He organised and led the Mukti Bahini operatives in a series of daring missions against the enemy. This included the capture of a well-fortified position that forced the surrender of enemy soldiers.
