The saying ‘Once a Hero, Always a Hero’, perfectly fits the Amarnath terror attack bus driver Salim Gafur Shaikh, who contributed Rs 11,000, almost equal to his one month salary, to Army Welfare Fund.
Shaikh was recently awarded ‘Uttam Jeevan Raksha Padak’, the second highest honour given to civilians for gallantry, on Republic Day for saving lives of 52 Amarnath pilgrims in July 2017.
