Colonel Sachin Nimbalkar, a Vir Chakra recipient, has been visiting the family of his slain colleague from the Kargil conflict every year for the past 25 years. This gesture of remembering commemorates the vow he made to himself during the 1999 battle to reclaim Tiger Hill.
Colonel Nimbalkar, who led his troops to victory, lost his close comrade Grenadier Udayman Singh in the fierce combat with Pakistani forces. Singh, who was only 19 years old, died from his injuries on July 5, 1999, reported PTI.
