The Army Chief and all the senior Commanders are going to be here for the event, he said. Units from three regiments-- 18 Greandiers, 2 Naga and 8 Sikh-- were involved in the operations to recapture the feature dominating the National Highway A1 (NHA1) and from where the Pakistani troops were shelling Indian convoys moving towards Kargil and Leh in a bid to cut off Indian supply lines towards Siachen and the whole of Ladakh region.

Their attack was launched on the feature in the corresponding night of July 4-5, 1999 by two batallions and by next morning, they evicted the Pakistani troops belonging to 12 Northern Light Infantry, Special Forces, Engineers and Artillery from the feature. After the operations, Havaldar Yogendra Yadav from 18 Greandiers was awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his exceptional display of gallantry in the intense battle for the peak. Tiger Hill has sharp conical features, which stands among the mountain tops a few kilometres north of Drass. During the Kargil war, the picture of Indian troops after having captured the Tiger Hill became the symbol of the Indian victory in the war.
