What is confirmed

The Government of India’s Jeevan Raksha Padak 2024 list clearly names “Shri K. Shimreingam Shimray, Manipur”. The Jeevan Raksha Padak series is given for a humane act of saving someone’s life, so his place in this archive’s life-saving section rests on an official record.

What is not yet known

The publicly available award list does not give the story of the incident: the district, his age or work, the date, who was rescued, or what happened. Targeted searches also did not turn up a local report that could be linked with confidence to this exact person.

Saying “reliable information not found” is better than inventing what is missing.

How this story can be completed

Before a full biography can be written, the next step is to look for records from Manipur’s Home Department, the district administration, state police, fire or rescue services, or the citation that went with his nomination.

If you know K. Shimreingam Shimray or have documents about this rescue, please use “Nominate a hero” to share them with us.
