New Delhi: Two days after seven military personnel were killed in a helicopter crash in Tawang, images of their bodies wrapped in plastic sacks and tied up in cardboard boxes surfaced on Sunday, triggering outrage.

This prompted the Army to come out with a statement saying the wrapping of the bodies with local resources was an 'aberration' and that the fallen soldiers are always given full military honour.
Several people on twitter expressed their anguish after the images surfaced.

Shocked to see bodies of 7 @IAF_MCC & @adgpi Tawang crash victims brought in cartons. Is this how we treat our brave men?

Reacting to the issue, the Army said in a statement - "Due to constraints of the carriage effort in high altitude area, helicopter cannot carry the full load. Mortal remains were wrapped in available local resources instead of improvised body bags or coffins. This was an aberration. Mortal remains arrived at Guwahati base hospital by 2 pm on 6 October and thereafter post-mortems and other formalities commenced."

Indians are dreaming to fight China and claiming victory in Dokalam but in reality they even don't have coffins for fallen soldiers. Ironic

The Army has not only agreed to this despicable act, but also has pledged that it would never happen again:

Wrapping mortal remains of killed men in cardboards an aberration: Army

NEW DELHI: In response to tweeted pictures showing the bodies of the seven military personnel- who died in an Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter crash in Arunachal Pradeshon Friday- wrapped in cardboard pieces, the army today said that an “aberration” has been made and it will not be repeated.

Don't listen to Sanghis & saffronists who have face-palm moment.

Remember during Kargill Indian army ran short of coffins and infamously called coffin choro sabta choro and probably at that time Mr. Fernandice was D.M and accused of corruption when he imported large amount of coffins from outside.

At least we gave them proper send off unlike some nation whose soldier bodies were forsaken on the hills of Kargil.
