Operation Honda – Capture of Ashok Post in Siachen Glacier

In the mid-80s, after Operation Meghdoot commenced in Siachen Glacier, there were a number of small actions as India and Pakistan attempted to gain positions of advantage. Op HONDA was one such action, which prevented Pakistan from gaining dominance in the vital Bilafond La area. The position was so advantageous, that Pakistan attempted to wrest it back from India by launching a brigade sized attack in 1987. Gen Anbu, who participated in the capture of Ashok post, gives us a first person account.
