  • Kargil Operation 1999
    KARGIL OPERATION 1999 The Kargil War, also known as the Kargil conflict was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in the Kargil district of Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC). In India, the conflict is also referred to as Operation Vijay which was the name of the Indian operation to clear the Kargil sector.The war is the most recent example of high-altitude warfare in mountainous terrain, and as such posed significant logistical problems for the combating sides.The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers disguised as Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the LOC which serves as the border between the two states. During the initial stages of the war, Pakistan blamed the fighting entirely on independent Kashmiri insurgents, but documents left behind by casualties and later statements by Pakistan's Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff showed involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces led by General Ashraf Rashid. The Indian Army, later supported by the Indian Air Force, recaptured a majority of the positions on the Indian side of the LOC infiltrated by the Pakistani troops and militants. Facing international diplomatic opposition, the Pakistani forces withdrew from the remaining Indian positions along the LOC. There were three major phases to the Kargil War. First, Pakistan infiltrated forces into the Indian-controlled section of Kashmir and occupied strategic locations enabling it to bring NH1 within range of its artillery fire. The next stage consisted of India discovering the infiltration and mobilising forces to respond to it.

  • KARGIL VIJAY DIWAS Why Is Kargil Vijay Diwas Celebrated ?
    KARGIL VIJAY DIWAS Why Is kargil Vijay diwas celebrated ? Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every July 26th in India, to observe India’s victory over Pakistan in the War of 1999 for the release of sections of Kargil District in Ladakh from Pak on 26th of July. The Kargil war was fought for more than 60 days and ended on 26 July 1999, when the Pakistani army took advantage of the melting snow and took command of the high outposts of India. The Pakistani army denied involvement in the war, claiming that it was caused by Kashmiri militants forces. However documents left behind by casualties and later statements by Pakistan's Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff showed the involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces, led by General Ashraf Rashid. The Kargil war resulted in loss of life on both sides and was ended when India regained control over the post and ejected the Pakistani Army out of the territory. PM Narendra Modi message to the citizens through twitter. We remember their sacrifices. We remember their valour. Today, on Kargil Vijay Diwas we pay homage to all those who lost their lives in Kargil protecting our nation. Their bravery motivates us every single day.

    KARGIL VIJAY DEVAS Since 1999, July 26 is celebrated as the Kargil Vijay Diwas to commemorate the victory of Operation Vijay. The operation was launched by the Indian Army to recapture the Indian territories from Pakistani intruders in the Kargil-Drass sector in 1999.The anniversary is observed each year across the nation to show respect and gratitude to the brave servicemen of the armed forces who laid down their lives to re- capture all positions that had been seized by the Pakistan Army.The Kargil War took place between May 3 and July 26, 1999, in the Kargil district of Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC). While the 60-day long war resulted in the loss of several lives on both sides, India eventually won the war by regaining control of all the previously held territory, re-establishing the status quo ante-bellum.To honour the Kargil War Heroes, who laid down their life for the country, a host of events and functions are organised all over the country to commemorate the contributions of the armed forces. Kargil Vijay Diwas: Here are 11 things to know about India's great victory over Pakistan in 1999 1.

  • 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.
