CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Chhattisgarh: In a solemn moment during ongoing anti-Maoist operations in Sukma, the CRPF lost one of its bravest soldiers — a specially trained canine named Susan. The dog, deployed to assist troops in tracking and neutralising Maoist insurgents, passed away while on duty, highlighting the risks faced by both human and animal personnel in such operations.
Susan had been part of several critical missions in the region, earning recognition for her sharp instincts, bravery, and loyalty. She played a crucial role in locating hidden explosives and assisting in area sweeps, significantly contributing to the success of the security forces’ operations.
Following her passing, the CRPF conducted a military-style farewell ceremony to honour Susan’s service. Troops lined up in formation, saluted, and paid their respects, demonstrating the deep bond between the personnel and their canine companion. Her contributions have left a lasting impact on the squad, and colleagues described her as more than just a dog — a valued team member and brave soldier.
The Sukma region continues to witness anti-Maoist operations, with security forces striving to maintain safety and counter insurgency threats. Susan’s sacrifice serves as a poignant reminder of the commitment and courage of all CRPF personnel, human and animal alike, who face dangers daily to protect citizens and maintain law and order in challenging terrains.
Susan’s memory is expected to inspire future CRPF K9 units, reinforcing the importance of trained canine companions in combat and rescue missions.
