Major Padmapani Acharya, 2nd Rajputana Rifles, leads his men into battle
after the successful capture of Tololing Top. The 2 Raj. Rifles' next
assignment was to capture the Knoll mountain feature in the Black Rock area,
which is in the Drass sub-sector. It was here, that Major Acharya laid down
his life in the highest traditions of the Indian Army on 29 June 1999. He
was awarded the Maha Vir Chakra, posthumously **.*

The Leh-Batalik road is as notorious as the Srinagar-Kargil road. At its
beginning lie staging areas, at its end fierce fighting and often, death.
Jawans patrol the rugged slopes near Batalik. For them, there is little time
for rest and little time to think, always poised on the edge of action. **

Moments before the final assault Capt. Vijyant Thapar (Robin) left this

Jawans from the 2nd Rajputana Rifles, remember their 23 comrades who fell in
the decisive battle for the Tololing Top. The battalion earned four Maha Vir
Chakras, one of India's highest medals for gallantry, three of them being
awarded posthumously. *

Rajputana Rifles, who died fighting the enemies. *
