#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.
