On April 13, 1984, a platoon of 4 Kumaon led by then Captain Sanjay Kulkarni planted the first Indian flag on Siachen glacier at Bilafond La, marking the beginning of ‘Operation Meghdoot’. As the Operation completed 40 years, the Fire and Fury Corps of the Indian Army, along with a video, posted on X, "Four decades of valour at the highest battlefield on Earth.
