The Soldier Who Became a Legend - Captain Vikram Batra led the capture of Pt 5140 & went on to single-handedly kill 5 enemy soldiers during the capture of Pt 4875 #OpVijay #Kargil1999
#LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 he fought & sacrificed for the Nation

On 07 July 1999, Capt Vikram Batra's company was tasked to clear a narrow feature with sharp cuttings on either side and heavily fortified enemy defences that covered the only approach to it.

For speedy operation, Capt Batra assaulted the enemy position along a narrow ridge and engaged the enemy in a fierce hand-to-hand fight and killed five enemy soldiers at point-blank range.

Despite sustaining grave injuries, Capt Batra crawled towards the enemy & hurled grenades clearing the position with utter disregard to his personal safety. He led his men and pressed on the attack and achieved a near-impossible military task in the face of heavy enemy fire.

Capt Batra succumbed to his injuries and made the supreme sacrifice.
Inspired by his act, his troops fell upon the enemy with vengeance, annihilated them and captured Point 4875.

#LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 Captain Vikram Batra, etched his name in the annals of Indian history #OnThisDay 07 July in 1999 during #OpVijay #Kargil1999.

The gallant #IndianBrave was awarded the #ParamVirChakra posthumously.
