Even when death is certain, personal safety is the last on a soldier's mind. Security of the nation and its citizens remains paramount, Kargil war hero and Param Vir Chakra awardee Y S Yadav has said. Subedar Yogendra Singh Yadav was recruited to 18 Grenadiers two decades back and was just 19 years old when he fought the Kargil war in 1999. Yadav, who was here to attend the country's first Military Literature Festival, said he was part of the commando platoon 'Ghatak', tasked with capturing strategic bunkers on Tiger Hill.
