It was decided to first evacuate the trapped personnel from Type 2 Quarters. Accordingly, Sh. Zile Singh, Assistant Commandant of Range QAT(SKOR) with his buddy Constable Rajendra Kumar Nain, moved for the task. Amid the heavy firing, troops first rescued about ten personnel from building, and then advanced to engage the terrorists hiding somewhere in attic area.

As Constable Rajendra Kumar Nain reached for the attic door and opened it, the militant fired a volley of bullets at the door and simultaneously lobbed a grenade towards them. Saving him from this attack, Constable Rajendra Kumar, in a flash, without caring for his life, moved inside with his BP shield and fired a burst at the militant with full might. However, the militant anticipating the tactical movement also fired back from behind the cemented block. Resultantly, one Armour Piercing Incendiary (API) round pierced through the BP shield and hit Rajendra Kumar Nain in the upper part of the chest. Due to the hit, he lost control of the BP shield but valiantly continued to fire on the militant, till he fell unconscious and slumped on the ground. In the process, he inflicted grievous wounds on the militant. Shri Zile Singh, who was close to him, instantly reacted from the door and without caring for his life fired at the militant. Constable Rajendra Kumar Nain was evacuated to the hospital immediately where he succumbed to his injuries and attained martyrdom.

Panda along with his buddy Constable S. Prakash advanced through the open area adopting fire and move tactics. As they closed in, the militant tried to hurl grenades towards them. At this juncture Constable P.K. Panda, without caring for his life, came out of his cover and fired at the militant neutralizing him on the spot. The killed militant was identified as Fardeen Ahmad Khandey r/o Tral, Pulwama. After this, the valley QAT was tasked to clear the room from the ground floor and reach the top. Constable P.K.

On 07 August 2018, operational teams of 21 Rashtriya Rifles (GUARDS) and 9 Parachute Regiment were inducted for close cordon and surveillance of an area. At 0950 hours on 08 August 2018, on being alerted regarding move of five terrorists, he displayed tactical acumen and leadership and taking advantage of inclement weather and low visibility quickly readjusted both teams to prevent escape of terrorists. After visually confirming and positively identifying the terrorists, the officer and his buddy opened heavy volume of fire on terrorists. In the ensuing firefight, the officer displayed nerve of steel and unmindful of his personal safety, closed in with the terrorists which were hiding behind a boulder and eliminated one unidentified foreign terrorist on his own. The officer thereafter exercised effective command and control and ensured strict fire discipline which facilitated elimination of all five foreign terrorists subsequently.

Captain Abhinav Kumar Choudhary displayed exceptional courage, grit and valour in elimination of five terrorists.

Major Amit Kumar Dimri joined 14 Rashtriya Rifles (GARHWAL RIFLES) on 30 December 2015.

On 20 September 2018, on receipt of information about presence of five terrorists in an area of Jammu and Kashmir, an operation was launched under Major Amit Kumar Dimri. The officer's meticulous planning ensured establishment of a compact tight cordon with no escapes routes. The officer personally led the initial search of target complex exposing him to grave danger and established first contact with terrorists. The officer ensured elimination of two escaping terrorists and trapping of remaining three terrorists inside a single cowshed. On 21 September, after elimination of two more terrorists, Major Amit Kumar Dimri closed in with the cowshed using bullet proof shields under direct fire of the terrorist and using an improvised explosive device created a breach in the wall. Major Amit Kumar Dimri charged inside the cowshed through the breach.

The terrorist jumped out and tried to escape. However the officer pursued and eliminated him at extremely short range in close quarter battle.
