In 1999, when the #Kargil conflict started, Capt Kenguruse was a junior commander in the #RajputanaRifles battalion. For his determination and prowess, he was made the lead commander of the #GhatakPlatoon of his battalion.
On 28 June night, Capt. Kenguruse’s platoon was given the responsibility of taking out a strategic machine gun post held by the enemy on a cliff face, the Black Rock. Heavy gun fire from this position had been hindering the battalion’s progress in the sector for days.
