The two prestigious awards were given to the late Sardar Jaswant Singh Gill, as he successfully conducted world’s largest coal mine mission, rescuing 65 coal miners in just 48 hours. It is indeed something that the nation should feel proud of. Besides these awards, Eastern Coalfields also paid a huge tribute to the life of the late Sardar Jaswant Singh Gill by naming November 16 as Rescue Day, a day where we remember this unsung hero whose story is as incredible as he is. This is indeed a very remarkable initiative from the prominent coal producer of India to pay tribute to a hero of our nation who is a source of pride and inspiration to the country. The people hailing from before the 1990s were not aware of the accomplishments made by him due to a lack of social resources and the non-availability of social media. But through the film Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue, his story and struggle will spread far and wide.
