#LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 Maj Padmapani Acharya, #MahaVirChakra (P) 2 RAJ RIF (TOLOLING), his fierce fight until his last, and unforgettable supreme sacrifice #OnThisDay 28 June in 1999 during #OpVijay
On 28 June 1999, Major Padmapani Acharya as a Company Commander of 2 RAJ RIF was assigned the formidable task of capturing an enemy position which was heavily fortified, strongly held and covered with mines and sweeping machine gun and artillery fire.
Success of the battalion and brigade operation hinged on the early capture of this position.
However the company attack almost faltered at the very beginning when the enemy's artillery fire came down squarely on the leading platoon, inflicting large numbers of casualties.

In 1999, as the #Kargil conflict started, Capt Kenguruse was a junior commander with 2nd Battalion The #RajputanaRifles. For his determination and prowess, he was made the lead commander of the #GhatakPlatoon of his unit.
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.
