The Indian Army has set up a small museum at the official accommodation once used by Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, the only Indian Air Force officer to receive the Param Vir Chakra for his actions during the 1971 war with Pakistan.
The room, located at the Srinagar Cantt, has been preserved as a tribute, featuring photographs of the flying ace and his uniform. The space is now formally known as ‘PVC Abode’.
In a post shared on X on Thursday, the Army wrote, “Indian Army pays a solemn tribute to his indomitable spirit by preserving his room at Badami Bagh Cantt, Srinagar, as ‘PVC Abode’ — a museum dedicated to his legacy.”
Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon laid down his life while valiantly defending the Srinagar Airfield during the 1971 war.
“PVC Abode immortalises his heroism and continues to inspire generations of Indians with his story of raw courage, duty, and devotion to the nation,” the Army said.
