In the recently concluded Army’s investiture ceremony on the occasion of Army Day, at Bangalore, Major Madhusudan B S and Lance Nayak K B Lava were awarded the gallantry award – Sena Medal. Both the Army men are from Coorg. TOI is reporting;

Among the awardees were four from Karnataka and both the gallantry award winners were from Kodagu. Major Madhusudhan BS won a medal for leading his team to ambush a militant group in Manipur in April.

Lance Nayak KB Lava bagged the Sena Medal for gallantry for shooting down an insurgent at close quarters in Assam, 2010. Lava was part of a team involved in a search operation. As the team was proceeding, an insurgent jumped out of a house to attack them. Lava, however, shot him before he could pull the trigger.

Apart from these two, Major General Mohan Prahlad Rao Muttagikar (retd) and Brigadier Mangal Murthi Prasad were presented with Vishisht Seva Medal.
