Today is Kargil Vijay Diwas and the whole country is remembering the heroes who successfully battled the Pakistan Army in 1999. One such hero is Satpal Singh, who was part of the team that helped the Indian Army capture Tiger Hill, a report in the Indian Express said. 20 years on, Head Constable Satpal Singh is seen at a road intersection in Bhawanigarh, a small town in Punjab’s Sangrur district managing traffic. He appears to be a normal traffic policeman but after closer inspection of his uniform, he wears four rows of medal ribands of which one is half blue-half orange, the Vir Chakra.
