Kargil War: Tiger Hill Victory's 25th Anniversary - Decisive Battle In Pics
Tiger Hill Victory's Anniversary: Barely four months into his service, a young Lieutenant Balwan Singh led the Indian Army's Ghatak Platoon in a strategic assault on Pakistani intruders during the Kargil war and was among the brave soldiers who captured Tiger Hill on July 4, 1999. "There was no looking back from there. It was victory after the capture of the Tiger Hill," recalls Singh, now a colonel with the famed 18 Grenadiers, who was injured while fighting the enemy but continued to fight. He was honoured with Maha Vir Chakra for his valour.
