Brigadier Brij Raj Singh Dahiya led the last battle of the Kargil War to capture Zulu Spur from July 22-25, 1999. On July 22nd, his forces surprised the Pakistani troops at Tri Junction, capturing it without firing a shot. The next objective was also taken on July 23rd with little resistance. On July 24th, two teams from the 9 Para Special Forces were brought in to assist in the difficult ascent to Zulu Top. They launched their assault on July 25th and after a fierce firefight, captured Zulu Top, though four Indian soldiers were killed. With Zulu Spur captured, the Kargil War officially ended on July 26th, 1999.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
1. CAPTURE OF ZULU SPUR-
THE LAST BATTLE OF
KARGIL WAR
AS RECEIVED FROM
BRIGADIER BRIJ RAJ
SINGH DAHIYA
2.
3.
4. Today, on 22 July 1999, my brigade commenced to undertake the last battle of the Kargil war & that
was ,capture of Zulu Spur .
The Zulu complex consisted of Tri Junc, Zulu Base & Zulu Top.
5. With 3/3 GR & Two Teams of 9 Para SF, supported by 11 Fire Units, I successfully captured Zulu Spur by
25 July, 1999.
The Pakistani troops although were required to go back across the LC after the capture of Tiger Hill & Pt
4875 but had not done so & instead had deployed the regular troops on a prominent feature called Zulu
Spur located approximately 2 Km South of the LC.
This time we had to face a regular Pakistani Unit ( 16 FF) who were wearing a proper Khaki Uniform.
Instead of a night attack planned at 2030 h on 22 July 1999 for the capture of Tri Junction , I decided to
go in for a day attack as the weather had packed up suddenly. At 1315 h on 22 July,1999, I
Ordered Capt Amit Aul ( son of Brigadier Amar Aul , a colleague & the neighbouring Brigade Commader
of 56 Mountain Brigade) of C Coy , 3/3 GR, to start advancing towards the objective,Tri Junction.
The enemy was totally taken by surprise & the Tri Juction was captured without firing a single bullet , by
1630 h on 22 July.
Later it was found that expecting a night attack, the Platoon of B Company ( commanded by one Major
Malik of 16 FF ( pakistan), were having a nap on the reverse slope , expecting us after the last light as
usual.
On the night 22/23 , the next objective was also captured by Maj Pallav Mishra of D coy 3/3 GR without
much resistance as that enemy troops had withdrawn to Zulu Top , to hold it in strength.
Since it was a shear cliff going to the Zulu Top ,without any approach & all likely points having been
completely mined & booby trapped, I thought of taking the help of two Teams if 9 Para SF , who were
located in the close vicinity & requested the GOC accordingly.
There was big ‘ NO’ from the Commanding Officer of 9 Para SF. It was on the intervention of the higher
HQs that Two Teams , each commanded by Major Dhaliwal & Capt Sudhir Kumar ( earlier ADC to the
CAOS, General VP Malik & later awarded Ashok Chakra ( Posthumously) in CI ops).
Both the Teams reached Zulu Base at 1500 h on 24 July to be ready for the H hour at 1800h.
6. Major Dhaliwal’s Team was to assault from Eastern side & Captain Sudhir Kumar, from South Western
side.
By 0200h on 25 July, both Teams had reached the RV , 100 M short of Top. The Teams reached Zulu Top
at first light & captured the Bunkers on the Top without much resistence but as they were advancing
North towards a locality called , Pimple 1, there was a fierce Counter Attack by the enemy with a
strength of 25 personnel, in a hand to hand fight , Captain Sudhir Kumar, charged towards the enemy
with his 8 men & within no time enemy started retreating.
9 Para SF , lost four soldiers but enemy left its 13dead , a wounded enemy soldier, Sep Mohd ashraf was
made POW ( Prisoner Of War)
Later airlifted to ADS , where I met him. He was subsequently treated & repatriated.
By 1000h on 25 July, the columns of 3/3 GR had reached Zulu Top & Both the Teams of 9 Para SF,
relieved.
The battle had been won.
Next day the enemy 16 FF Commanding Officer , Col Mustafa came on Radio & requested for dead
bodies to be returned & in turn promised to withdraw across the LC without giving any fight.
When asked as to ‘how do I take his word’ ? he said, Sir, it’s a word of a ‘ PATHAN’ , I also instantly
promised him that it shall be done, provided they take their bodies with respect on stretchers with a
proper contingent & told him the that , this is also a word of a ‘ SARDAR’ ( SIKH).
Sure enough, we both kept our words although it took me sometime to convince my GOC.
Initially, I was admonished to have handed over the bodies in the battle field, perhaps it had happened
for the first time, but later , I was given a pat once the recorded video clip was seen by the UNO &
appreciated .
Shall be posting, both, the clip showing returning of the dead bodies ( we had wrapped their bodies in
their National flag) & picture of their POW , Sep Mohd Ashraf of 16 FF, where I met him in the ADS &
moment I spoke to him in Punjabi, he started crying saying that he had never seen a Brigadier in his
Army talking to the soldiers like this.
7. After all , we in the INDIAN ARMY , don’t do Different Things BUT we do ‘DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ‘.
The Kargil war which had officially started on 05 May 1999 came to an end on 26 July 1999 ( after my
last operation was complete by 25 July), therefore, the VIJAY DIWAS is celebrated on 26 July, every year.
