Three Army doctors have been honoured with the Sena Medal for gallantry for taking on terrorists and saving the lives of their colleagues during an attack on Indians in Kabul last year. A total of 114 Army personnel have been awarded the Sena Medal for gallantry on Independence Day for their acts of valour in different operations across the country.

Lieutenant Colonel Sanjiv Kumar Kakkar, Major Sumit Arora and Major Sibashish Metia of the Army Medical Corps were part of the Indian medical mission in Kabul when the terrorists carried out a suicide attack on the hotel where the Indian team was staying. An Army press release stated that after the heavy suicide attack, these officers displayed exceptional bravery, rushed into a hail of bullets to take on the terrorist and herded their colleagues to safety.
