That's factually correct & justified.
🚨 BIG STATEMENT by Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu. "None of the Indian states directly share BORDER with China.". "We share border with Tibet only.". "In 1950, China forcefully occupied Tibet. Officially, Tibet is under China, but originally, we share border with Tibet."

Sierra Leone operation was Op Khukri not Op Cactus. My mistake earlier.
@khushal1954 18 GRENADIERS, one of the best. Soon after Kargil war, sent the Bn on UN Peace Keeping mission to Sierra Leone. It got involved in the very successful Op Cactus. Salute to the Bn.🇮🇳 @khushal1954 then Commanding Officer.

3. Nawaz Sharif due to meet Clinton in Washington DC. 12 hrs before their meeting, we informed the world about recapture of Tiger Hill & likely outcome of war. Big psychological blow in Pakistan. Much jubilation in India.

1. Unforgettable 4th Jul 99. After anxious night, am informed at 6 AM that 18 GRENADIERS had captured Tiger Hill (photo), considered impossible by many. Heavy fighting still going on. I sought confirmation from GOC 8 Mtn Div.

2. First: gave us confidence that despite adverse situation & govt's restraint policy, we can make Pakistan army vacate our territory. Second: destroyed enemy’s political & military morale & will to fight. Third: made us confident of taking battles into enemy territory.

1. A victory in war is achieved when battles on are won. 26 Years ago, in Kargil war, there were three defining moments; recapture of Tololing-12 Jun; Tiger Hill-4 Jul; Jubar-Kukarthang-7-9 Jul 99.
