Major Padmapani Acharya, 2nd Rajputana Rifles, leads his men into battle after

the successful capture of Tololing Top. The 2 Raj. Rifles' next assignment was

to capture the Knoll mountain feature in the Black Rock area, which is in the

Drass sub-sector. It was here, that Major Acharya laid down his life in the

highest traditions of the Indian Army on 29 June 1999. He was awarded the Maha

Vir Chakra, posthumously.

 

The Leh-Batalik road is as notorious as the Srinagar-Kargil road. At its

beginning lie staging areas, at its end fierce fighting and often, death. Jawans

patrol the rugged slopes near Batalik. For them, there is little time for rest

and little time to think, always poised on the edge of action.

 

Capt.Vijayant Thapar (Robin)

He Laid down for OUR BETTER TOMORROW

At the age of only 22

 

Moments before the final assault Capt. Vijyant Thapar (Robin) left a letter at

the war front base, to be handed over to his family.

AND AFTER THAT HE CAME BACK TO HOME WITH TRI COLOR DRAPED

 

Jawans from the 2nd Rajputana Rifles, remember their 23 comrades who fell in the

decisive battle for the Tololing Top. The battalion earned four Maha Vir

Chakras, one of India's highest medals for gallantry, three of them being

awarded posthumously.

 

Captain (Dr.) Rajshree Gupta, Army Medical Corps (AMC), salutes the

tricolour-draped coffin of her husband, Major Vivek Gupta of the 2nd Rajputana

Rifles, who died fighting the enemies.
