This short story was written in 2013-2014 before ‘surgical strike’ became a popular term in certain circles. We knew that Indian army raided Pakistani positions across Line of Control, but there were hardly any written accounts of any such missions. This story was written as a dramatised version of such a cross border raid by Indian army in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to capture or kill a group of dreaded terrorists.
