  • Battle of Hajipir (Indo-Pak War 1965)
    No. 08/2019 AN INDIAN ARMY PUBLICATION August 2019 BATTLE OF HAJIPIR (INDO-PAK WAR 1965) MAJOR RANJIT SINGH DAYAL, PVSM, MVC akistan’s forcible attempt to annex Kashmir was defeated when India, even though surprised by the Pakistani offensive, responded with extraordinary zeal and turned the tide in a war, Pakistan thought it would win. Assuming discontent in Kashmir with India, Pakistan sent infiltrators to precipitate Pinsurgency against India under ‘OPERATION GIBRALTAR’, followed by the plan to capture Akhnoor under ‘OPERATION GRAND SLAM’. The Indian reaction was swift and concluded with the epic capture of the strategic Haji Pir Pass, located at a height of 2637 meters on the formidable PirPanjal Range, that divided the Kashmir Valley from Jammu. A company of 1 PARA led by Major (later Lieutenant General) Ranjit Singh Dayal wrested control of Haji Pir Pass in Jammu & Kashmir, which was under the Pakistani occupation. The initial victory came after a 37- hour pitched battle by the stubbornly brave and resilient troops. Major Dayal and his company accompanied by an Artillery officer started at 1400 hours on 27 August. As they descended into the valley, they were subjected to fire from the Western shoulder of the pass. There were minor skirmishes with the enemy, withdrawing from Sank. Towards the evening, torrential rains covered the mountain with thick mist. This made movement and direction keeping difficult. The men were exhausted after being in the thick of battle for almost two days. But Major Dayal urged them to move on. On reaching the base of the pass, he decided to leave the track and climb straight up to surprise the enemy.

  • 1 Compendium On
    ARMY DESIGN BUREAU 1ST COMPENDIUM ON SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEM STATEMENTS APRIL 2018 FOREWORD In this era of fast evolving world of technology, cost efficient development of indigenous capabilities, products and technologies, would serve to be the real force multiplier in giving our armed forces the dening edge in future battleelds. The relentless encouragement and enabling policy environment provided by the Government of India (GoI) through series of reforms over the last few years has served as impetus to industry to innovate and work on development of indigenous technologies, products and solutions. Under the watchful eyes of the Industry friendly leadership at the helm of Ministry of Defence, relentlessly promoting Indigenisation of the Defence Sector by embracing the Government's agship initiative 'Make in India', Defence & Aerospace sector is poised to become a major contributor to GDP growth over coming years. Our Armed Forces, and the Indian Army in particular have been very proactive over past few years in reaching out to industry to absorb upcoming technologies and indigenous solutions for their day-to-day operations. The much-needed dissemination of critical requirements of Indian Army has been expedited through the constitution of Army Design Bureau (ADB). FICCI provided able support to this endeavour by associating with ADB to bring together Army - Industry - Academia in a strong partnership culminating in issuing "Compendium of Problems" by the Army HQ. In the last one and a half year the Army - Industry - Academia dialogue has traversed a long way across the industrial & academic clusters in India, with Army spelling its operational requirements, to next logical phase of the industry and academia offering home grown solutions to the problems.
