Chandigarh, April 28

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh launched a book on Operation Meghdoot in Gurugram today.

The book “Operation Meghdoot: The Beginning of the Coldest War” has been penned by Amit Krishankant Paul, a resident of Gurugram and lawyer by profession.

Thirty-eight years ago, the Indian Army had occupied the Saltoro Height, thereby effectively controlling the Siachen Glacier, which today is the highest battlefield in the world.

Operation Meghdoot was the name given to the military operation launched by the Indian Armed Forces on April 13, 1984.

In the book, Paul examines minute nuances of the operation from political, geographic, geopolitical and military strategy imperatives.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
