Operation Mahakal: Episode 15 The Domino Effect

The Webster dictionary defines the domino effect as “





: a cumulative effect produced when one event initiates a succession of similar events”

Well that was what was happening right now in Pakistan people were running from poll to post as it was they were poor the war was now at their door step and the refugees from Sialkot were telling bombastic stories of bloodshed and carnage on the front lines 

Slowly but study the Pakistani media’s narrative was ripped apart by the people themselves 

In the GHQ the present rulers of Pakistan took a decision to launch a nuke attack at India 

The Pakistani strategic command was activated 

All three service chiefs signed off on the order 

And the order was transmitted 

Lt Col immtaz Ali khan red the order once again 

He called all his men and said 

“Gentlemen, 

The day has come that we all wished and prey would come 

That day is today because today we destroy our arch enemy and its expansionist designs 

Make ready for shahadat 

Tomorrow we feast in Jannat 

The same fiery speech was given by all commanders whose responsibility it was to launch the warheads 

Pakistan launched all of her missiles at once 

Tin New Delhi the NCA took off in a specially modified plane 

Call sing: Garuad 1 

The IABADSCOM intercepted majority of the missiles and a few of them crashed in to the sea 

It would letter be reviled that India had used a “special “we pone to shoot these missiles down 

But for now it remained a highly classified secret 

Disappointingly for the Pakistanis their date with Jannat came not by mass evaporation but burley up close and personnel at the hands of the ECG 

The defense council of Pakistan met in the wilds of the NWFP but there too they were not safe you see the NDS the successor of The notorious KADH was on the lookout for these “guys”

The Afghans had no love lost for these vultures 

And this time they activated what was known as the SDP or special defense Protocol which entitled them to take any action to eliminate a threat using ties of blood the Afghans tracked down a meeting and blew it up to high haven 

To the East Indian forces swung in to Lahore at which point the forces were split in to three columns 

With Force 1 named: Kalsa Force 

Force 2 named Ranjith 

Force 3 named Baz 

With the objectives of Sargodha, Lyallpur Dera Islimial khan 

The battle for Lahore was a brutal one with high loses on both sides but at the end of it all Lahore was a tie with eastern Lahore in Indian hands and western Lahore in Pakistani hands 

On the second day the RR was inducted in to the theater and the RR was at what It did best the sector commander on his own initiative took the attack to the Pakistanis in the western sector of Lahore but the tide was turned when a combined infantry attack was launched by elements of the Punjab , Sikh and Sikh Light infantry they were alley supported by forward elements of the Poona horse that were based in the Indian controlled sector of Lahore 

The urban combat reminded one of the battle of fauji in the Persian gulf war of 2003 but there was a difference Indian units deployed in Combat operations in Lahore were very much experienced in combat operations in an urban setting 

Lahore would fall the same day as the 1st horse under Major JJ skinner gate crashed in to Lahore from Sialkot capturing the airport at Lahore the IAF was now in control of the air port 

A link up was affected between the two forces and the combined forces made their way to Mardan 

In the Kashmir teather the remaining districts of Pok were crushed by forces under the command of brigadier pramjit “bornubs” Dogra

He captured Gojal there by Isolating the Nagar II Ali bad and Nagar II axis he swung north to yasin and captured the same in two days as all of his Kashmir force linked up in Gilgit brigadier pramjit launched the final operations in the Kashmir teather 

Code named Zorawar forward and advance elements captured the remaining districts of Pok without much destruction 

In the deep south of Pakistan 

The MQM of Karachi declared Independence from Pakistan so did the shindis the Pakistani army was plagued in putting down revolt after revolt but what hurt them the most was the revolt by the NLI and the so called AJK regiment 

In India the war cabinet was informed that the reintegration of J and K was completed and Operation welcome was in effect 

There was jubilation in the war cabinet but currently the news was suppressed 

Pakistan was hanging on by a thread the last domino was yet to fall
