Run for it || In 2011, CRPF officer R.K. Singh was awarded the Shaurya Chakra for a daring operation against the #Maoists in Jharkhand. But it came at a heavy price. He lost his left leg and consequently a promotion on medical grounds. A sports enthusiast, Singh did not let the handicap clip his wings, and took up table tennis with an artificial limb. Three years on, Singh has not only been promoted as a deputy commandant, but also earned a pat on his back from none other than Sachin Tendulkar for having participated in a half-marathon hosted by the CRPF, using prosthetic blades. His next target? A 21km marathon using a runner foot he has already ordered.
