Slain army men G Manivannan and Naik Dipak Maity were awarded a funeral with full military honours, along with a guard of honour in their respective hometowns of Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu and Midnapore, West Bengal on Monday.

Forty-three-year-old Maity is survived by his wife and 13-year-old daughter while 25-year-old Mannivanan is survived by his parents.
