Dear Brig Kamboj,
I am attaching required article of Gen Kala which was published in to day's Amar Ujala News Paper in which so nicely described the complete picture of war front, indeed shows unique bravery of the Indian Soldier in the world. No one can stop tears in eyes after reading the letter written by Lt Jayant Thapar to his parents before launching final attack since he knew that he is sacrificing his life for the freedom of the country and giving lesson to others that brave soldiers even after death remain immortal.

Out of total 533 casualties of the Indian Army, from Uttarakhand 75 soldiers died in Kargil War (Operation Vijay) and 18 soldiers sacrificed their lives from Doon valley whose names are Maj Viwek Gupta-Vasnt Vihar, Sq Ldr Rajeev Pundir-Dehradun,Nk Brij Mohan Singh-Tunwala, Mekh Gurung-Dakra, Narpal Singh- Ram Nagar Danda, Jaideep Singh-Nehru Gram,Devendra Singh- anarwala, Shiv Caharan- Anarwala, Vijay Singh-Shyampur, Krishna Kumar- Sella Kuai, Kailash Kumar-Dandi, Rajesh Gurung -Chandra Mati, Sanjay Gurung- Nawada, Surendra Singh Negi- Malhan Plot, Jai Singh Negi- Malhan Plot, Tara Jing-Dekholing, Ramesh Thapa- Sella Kuai and Tenjing Namkha- Vikas Nagar.
