प्रश्न
Enlist any four facts which made the capturing of Tiger Hill a national challenge.
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Tiger hill was located 10 kilometres North of the Srinagar – Kargil – Leh Highway but towered higher than the other hills in its vicinity.
- The enemy position on the mountain top dominated parts of this highway. Thus, any movement on the highway or any approach to the Hill risked visibility by the enemy because of its vantage point.
- The position of the enemy on Tiger Hill was well-fortified and its sharp triangular top made it a difficult objective to recapture.
- The impossibility of the mission was projected by the media as a national challenge.
