Capture of Tiger Hill (Op Vijay-1999) No. 07/2019 AN INDIAN ARMY PUBLICATION July 2019 CAPTURE OF TIGER HILL (OP VIJAY-1999) GRENADIERS was tasked to capture Tiger Hill, one of the prominent features in the Drass Sub-Sector. The initial attack was led by Captain Sachin Nimbalkar and Lieutenant 18Balwan Singh, with a Section of ‘D’ Company and the Ghatak Platoon in a multi directional attack. The team stealthily approached Tiger Hill and took the enemy by surprise. Lieutenant Balwan Singh along with Havildar Madan Lal gallantly led the Section and pressed forward against heavy odds. The Section approached and engaged the Pakistani bunkers on Tiger Hill Top. During this fight Havildar Madan Lal got severe injuries but still continued to press forward. The individual showed extraordinary courage and exemplary junior leadership and was awarded Vir Chakra (Posthumously). Lieutenant Balwan Singh in another outflanking manoeuvre took the enemy by sheer surprise as his team used cliff assault mountaineering skills to reach the top. The officer single handedly killed many Pakistani soldiers, and led his team to the top. For his leadership and unmatched gallantry, Lieutenant Balwan Singh was awarded the Maha Vir Chakra. Another prominent name associated with Tiger hill is Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav, who was part of the leading team of Ghatak Platoon tasked to capture Tiger Hill Top. The soldier utterly disregarded his own injury that he sustained due to enemy fire and continued to charge towards the enemy bunkers all the while firing from his rifle. He killed enemy soldiers in close combat and silenced the automatic fire. He sustained multiple bullet injuries and was in critical condition, but refused to be evacuated and continued to attack. For his indomitable spirit and conspicuous courage way beyond the call of duty, Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav was awarded the Nation’s highest gallantry award, the Param Vir Chakra. At 0800 hours on 05 July, the Indian Tricolour was finally hoisted on Tiger Hill Top. Throughout the nearly two-month long campaign, 18 GRENADIERS gave the Indian Army and the Nation some of the finest victories ever won in its military history. The gallant soldiers of the Battalion were awarded one Param Vir Chakra, two Maha Vir Chakras, six Vir Chakras and a host of Sena Medals and other gallantry awards. For their outstanding achievements in the battle of Tiger Hill, 18 GRENADIERS was awarded the Unit Citation by the Chief of the Army Staff and honored with the title ‘Bravest of the Brave’.
