Major Satish Dahiya would have celebrated his third wedding anniversary today with his wife Sujata Dahiya and sent a gift pack containing a cake, candles, flowers and also a greeting which read, 'I love you Poocha, you are my inspiration', Satish." The parcel arrived a few hours after Satish died fighting terrorists in Handwara, Jammu and Kashmir, many miles away from home in Haryana's Baniwadi village.
 
The 31-year-old Army Major Satish’s body was brought back to his village and his two year old daughter Priyasha lit the funeral pyre with her uncles. Sujata Dahiya says she is immensely proud of her husband.

Hundreds gathered for Major Dahiya's final farewell. More than 800 people had reached the cremation ground even before the body reached and more people poured in later to pay tribute. Major Dahiya's father struggled to get through the crowds to see his only child one last time.
