The notice claims that on November 18, 1962, 120 personnel of Charlie Company of 13 Kumaon Regiment had protected the country’s border by fighting thousands of Chinese soldiers.
Out of these, 114 soldiers were martyred, out of which more than 95 percent were from the Yadav community. The contribution of Yadav soldiers in the film was secondary. Will not accept tampering with history.
