‘Turning the pages of Nagrota Under Siege is like reporting on the horrors of the Nagrota terror strike all over again. A must-read’
GAURAV C. SAWANT, managing editor and anchor, India Today TV and Aaj Tak
On 29 November 2016, the Nagrota Army Base in Jammu and Kashmir was attacked by a group of terrorists. The highly trained and heavily armed terrorists had infiltrated from across the LoC and gained entry from the forest behind the camp. Firing mercilessly to cause maximum damage, they were on a revenge mission after the Indian Army’s successful surgical strikes on terror camps just two months earlier. The Indian Army personnel inside the camp played a crucial role in securing the lives of those present in the family accommodations as well as the camp, and many bravely laid down their lives. Nagrota Under Siege is the story of grit, courage and unmatched bravery.
