'Dhar' to all who knew him was a vibrant blend of mischief and philosophy. Saptarshi, also known as Tojo, kept everyone around him on their toes with his quick wit and high sense of humour. Despite his seemingly casual and easy-going demeanour, he took his duties seriously and approached his responsibilities with enthusiasm. He enjoyed his drills and even the punishments at the Academies, always taking everything with a pinch of humour. Commissioned in the Corps of Ordnance on December 6, 1997, Capt. Saptarshi Dhar was serving the mandatory infantry attachment with 4/8 GR. The experiences of Operation Vijay in August 1999 deeply affected him, transforming the jovial young man into someone who grieved the loss of many friends and colleagues. After a short break, Dhar returned to his unit, which had moved to one of the forwardmost locations in the valley. His unique personality and experiences may have led him to be part of the de-induction party on January 12, 2000, when an unforeseen avalanche struck, tragically taking his life under tons of snow.
