2nd July 1999: INDIAN ARMY LAUNCHED THREE-PRONGED ATTACK IN KARGIL SECTOR Indian troops started approaching Tiger Hill from three unexpected directions. Their aim was to re-capture Tiger Hill, keeping enemy completely unaware about their advances. Indian artillery started shelling Tiger Hill to force the enemy to keep their head down, while the 18 Grenadiers, 2 Naga, and 8 Sikh Regiment of the Indian Army got ready to attack Tiger Hill. The main tactic was the most difficult ever employed on an open battlefield. While the Alpha, Charlie, and Ghatak companies of the Grenadiers attacked from the rear, the Nagas were on the left flank, and the Sikhs on the right. The actual assault began at 5:15 pm on 3rd July.
