This 1971 war site with Pakistan evokes immense pride and patriotic emotion. The Pakistanis crossed the border with many tanks in a bid to occupy Indian territory. The Indian Army though outnumbered, retaliated and prevented them from advancing until the Indian Air Force launched air strikes on Pakistanis. Caught off guard, the enemy retreated abandoning their as many as 64 armoured tanks. The Pakistani tank now placed on a platform is a tourist attraction, along with the border pillar that marked the extent of Indian Territory and which the the Pakistanis tried to steal. The army jawans manage and maintain the site.
