Srinagar, Aug 06: In a heartwarming tale of sincerity and integrity, Tahir Mohammad Sheikh, a tent owner, and a local resident of Manigam Ganderbal, has been duly acknowledged for his exemplary honesty.
On 28th July 2023, a newly-wedded couple, amidst their pilgrimage to the hallowed grounds of Sri Amarnathji Yatra at Manigam, unintentionally left behind a cherished and valuable necklace (Mangalsutra) within Tahir’s tent.
Unaware of their loss until later in their journey, the couple, overwhelmed with distress and emotional attachment to the precious ornament, urgently reached out to the benevolent Tahir. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Tahir pledged to leave no stone unturned in the search for the treasured keepsake within the folds of his canvas abode.
After an earnest endeavor, Tahir’s dedicated search bore fruit as he discovered the missing jewel. He ensured its rightful return to the relieved couple, demonstrating a profound sense of responsibility and moral character.
Such a display of unwavering virtue did not escape the discerning eyes of Camp Commander (Manigam Base Camp) & Commandant, 28 Bn., Rajesh Sankhla. Deeply moved by Tahir’s earthbound integrity, he summoned the noble tent owner to his makeshift office chamber and, in a ceremonial gesture, bestowed upon him a commendation letter.
In this instance, the virtuous spirit of Tahir, personifying honesty in its truest essence, shines as a beacon of inspiration for all. Let us celebrate and applaud such exemplary conduct, as it echoes the timeless values of integrity and righteousness. Rajesh Sankhla shared these sentiments while speaking about the whole incident.(KNS)
