Twenty years later, in the hills of Kargil and Batalik, the Indian troops will once again resonate with the Indian soldiers who had soured the teeth of Pakistani intruders. In addition to Batalik's Khalubar, the same army battalions will climb over the Hills of Tolling, Tiger Hill and Point 4875 in Dras with the same vigour and enthusiasm that they had climbed in June and July of 1999. Point 4875 of Dras is now called Batra Top where Captain Vikram Batra martyred.
