OnThisDay in 1999, during the fierce battles of the #KargilWar, Naik Shatrughan Singh stood as the lone survivor of the 1 BIHAR platoon led by Maj M Sarvanan at Jubar Post.
Wounded thrice, he crawled for 10 days without food to return to base and report the grim realities of the mission.
Today, he is retired with honors as an Honorary Captain — a true symbol of grit and sacrifice.
