Amar Jawan Yadayya's body reaches Shamshabad airport

The dead body of Yadayya, a soldier from Andhra Pradesh who was killed by militants in Srinagar, arrived at the Shamshabad airport on Thursday morning.

It may be recalled that Yadayya was killed when militants opened fire on an Army convoy on the outskirts of Srinagar, ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Jammu and Kashmir.

The Army officials are preparing to transport Yadayya's body to his native place in Kondareddy palli of Mahboobnagar.

The state is all set to give the soldier a funeral with military honour.
