Social welfare minister Dr. Dola Sri Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy commended Subbaiah for his heroic sacrifice and saving the life of fellow soldiers.
A large number of people, cutting across caste and religious differences, attended the funeral as the 43-year-old Jawan saved 30 of his colleagues by taking the lead and sacrificing his life.
The Army officials handed over the national flag laid on his body to his wife and mother, with due formalities.
Subbaiah had been discharging duties as hawaldar in the National Rifles.
