"साब, मैं वादा करता हूँ कि सुबह की चाय हम Tololing Top पर पियेंगे" - Subedar Bhanwar Lal, VrC(P), 2 RAJPUTANA RIFLES

Displaying extraordinary courage, grit and determination, the soldiers of 2 RAJPUTANA RIFLES fought against formidable odds to recapture the strategically vital Tololing feature, paving the way for subsequent victories during Operation Vijay.
On this day, we remember the supreme sacrifice of Major Vivek Gupta, MVC(P), Subedar Bhanwar Lal, VrC(P), Company Havildar Major Yashvir Singh, VrC(P) and Havildar Sultan Singh Narwaria, VrC(P), whose valour, leadership and devotion to duty continue to inspire generations.

At Point 5299, courage echoed louder than enemy shelling. Under the leadership of Major Vikram Singh Shekhawat of 4 JAT and Capt P V Vikram of 141 Field Regiment, operations were launched to secure the strategic height despite intense enemy fire.
In the line of duty, Capt P V Vikram made the supreme sacrifice, while Major Vikram Singh Shekhawat was critically injured. Their courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty remain a timeless testament to the spirit of the Indian Army.
