The 25 illustrious years of Kargil Day will come to an end on Wednesday, July 26.

Hazaribagh. On June 9, Amar Shaheed Vidyanand Singh, who suffered six bullet wounds in his chest and had unwavering fortitude, earned Veergati. He was assigned to the Bihar Regiment's first battalion. The peak of Batalik sector, which is positioned at a height of 17000 feet on the border with Drass of Kargil, was entrusted to Martyr's battalion to retake.

The roadway that passed through this mountain, which was crucial to the Drass and Batalik areas, was being fired upon by the nation's adversaries, making it hard to get to equal soldiers and logistical support. In terms of strategy, the capture of this peak was crucial. Five were given this assignment, and Vidyanand Singh's battalion began ascending on June 6 and 7, 1999.

In a hand-to-hand battle to take the bunker on the night of 9, Vidyanand Singh, who had just scaled the hill, was shot many times. In the process of murdering the terrorists, many members of Vidyanand Singh's battalion lost their lives. On his chest, there were also more than six gunshot holes. Nevertheless, the platoon had managed to seize the peak. He had already become a martyr by the time aid arrived.

at a timely manner, the battalion arrived at Kargil

Vidyanand Singh, a Kargil hero who received honours for valiantly battling Naga insurgents, was assigned to Nagaland. In 1985, Vidyanand made contributions to the Bihar Regiment's 1st Battalion.

When he was stationed in Nagaland in 1991, the Naga rebels' teeth were rotten because he was known in the army for his powerful body. He received the Vir Medal in recognition of his outstanding accomplishment.

Uncle of Shaheed Vidyanand Singh served in the military as well. He enlisted in the army, drawing motivation from his uncle's outfit. Vidyanand Singh was a native of the Bihar hamlet of Panpura in Block Sandesh in the Bhojpur district.
