An Indigo Airlines pilot Harish Nayani has shot into social media limelight along with a Kargil war hero, Naik Deep Chand.
Naik Deep Chand lost both his legs and right arm during the 1999 battle with Pakistani troops.
Harish Nayani spotted Naik Deep Chand in his plane and announced on the public address system that a war-hero was flying in the plane. He then went to Naik Deep Chand’s seat and requested a photograph as memento.
All the 186 passengers rose to their feet in respect and applauded Naik Deep Chand.
Harish Nayani, a former IAF fighter pilot himself, now flies for Indigo Airlines.
The incident was shared by another former IAF pilot, Rajiv Tyagi, on his Facebookpage. He also shared a photo of Harish Nayani with Naik Deep Chand, which has now gone viral.
Rajiv Tyagi commented that this was all the recognition war heroes needed, for acts no nation can repay them for.
