An Indian peacekeeper who lost his life serving under the UN flag is among over 60 military, police, and civilian peacekeepers to be honoured posthumously with a prestigious medal for their service and supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. This year's International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers honors more than 4,000 peacekeepers who have lost their lives serving for peace. Over 2 lakh Indians have served in 49 UN peacekeeping missions since 1948, and more than 160 Indian peacekeepers have lost their lives under the UN flag. The UN acknowledges the tireless efforts of peacekeepers in improving lives around the world for 76 years, thanking them for their service on this day. Ruchira Kamboj paid homage to Indian UN peacekeepers on UN Peacekeeping Day.
