Meena Nayyar and Himmat Singh Shekhawat explain that the soldiers fought relentlessly in a gruesome battle for two nights in July 1999, before securing the peak that was critical to the success of Operation Vijay and India’s victory in Kargil

During the battle, 23-year-old captain Anuj Nayyar was hit by an enemy rocket-propelled grenade, dying instantly but saving the lives of fifteen men in the process, who eventually finished the mission and hoisted the Indian flag on the peak
