    No. 05/2019 AN INDIAN ARMY PUBLICATION May 2019 OPERATION VIJAY (Kargil War 1999) “Either I will come back after hoisting the tri colour or I will come wrapped in it, but I will come back for sure.” Captain Vikram Batra Captain Vikram Batra, Param Vir Chakra, 13 Jammu & Kashmir Rifles uring the Kargil war, Captain Vikram Batra of 13 Jammu & Kashmir Rifles and his Delta Company were tasked to recapture one of the most arduous and crucial peaks, Point 5140. At a height of 17000 feet, he and his men planned to approach the hill from the rear, so as to take the enemies by surprise. DThey ascended the rocky cliff but as they neared the top, the Pakistani intruders pinned them on the face of the cliff with machine gun fire. Undeterred by this, Captain Batra and five of his men climbed up and on reaching the top hurled two grenades at the machine gun positions. He single handedly killed three soldiers in close combat and despite being badly injured during the exchange, he regrouped his men and continued the mission. After a long battle, many enemy soldiers were killed and his unit won a decisive victory. His courage inspired his men to charge the enemy positions and on 20 June 1999, they captured Point 5140. ‘Chanakya …it’s Shershah reporting!! We’ve captured the post! Yeh Dil Maange More!’ Captain Vikram Batra told his Commanding Officer after securing Point 5140 (Tiger Hill). On 07 July 1999, in another operation in the area of Point 4875, his company was tasked to clear a narrow feature with sharp cuttings on either side and heavily fortified enemy defences that covered the only approach to it.
