The Indian Army successfully removed Pakistani forces who were illegally occupying a hilltop at the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC) at Kargil, Ladakh. To commemorate this victory

Kargil. * Pakistan had planned to cut off Ladakh from Kashmir and starve the people of Siachen valley to force India to accept Pakistan’s terms in the then-ongoing Kashmir issue. *

successfully bombed out Pakistan’s illegally occupied posts. * Retired Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Commodore Kaiser Tufail exposed Pakistan’s plans against India after the War to an Indian
