IAF's Garud unit bags 6 gallantry awards for anti-terror operations in Kashmir A unit of the Indian Air Force's (IAF) elite Garud Commando Force bagged six gallantry awards for its anti-terror operations in the Kashmir Valley, officials said. Formed in February 2017, unit number 617 received one Ashok Chakra, three Shaurya Chakras and two Vayu Sena medals for the successful operations until now.
