NEW DELHI, June 26: The ‘Veer Naris’ (War Widows) of 8 JAK LI (Siachen) today called on President Pranab Mukherjee here at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The 8 JAK LI is organising a pilgrimage tour for these ‘Veer Naris’ from Rashtrapati Bhavan to Rishikesh, Haridwar and Badrinath to commemorate the 30th year of the capture of Bana Top, President's Secretariat said in a statement. The Infantry contingent of the Army Guard belongs to 8th Battalion Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry (Bravest of the Brave). 8 JAK LI (Siachen) was raised as the first Battalion Border Scouts by volunteers who took arms in the aftermath of communal passion and the smouldering embers of partition to check the multitude of kabalies infringing into Poonch on December 18, 1947. Born in battle and purified in blood, the battalion was rechris- tened as 8th Jammu & Kashmir Militia. In 1971 war, the Battalion was outwitted, out- numbered but never outclassed in valour and fought the defen- sive battle successfully despite enemy's passion for Chhamb. The battalion was awarded Battle Honour - Laleali and Picquet 707. The Regiment was rechristened as the Jammu & Kashmir Light Infantry on April 27, 1976. During the Siachen tenure in June 1987, the Battalion created his- tory by cap- turing 'Qua- id Post' at an high altitude of 21, 153 feet, the highest bat- tle field in the world. The post was rena- med as Bana Top in hon- our of Naib Subedar Bana Singh, Param Vir Chakra. The bat- talion was awarded Ch- ief of Army Staff Unit Citation in 2001 for its sterling perform- ance in the Poonch Sector. The Battalion established the United Nation Mission in Sudan 2006 and was conferred with United Nation Unit Citation in the year 2007 for handling the bloodiest of clashes ever in the history of Sudan.
