India received intelligence reports in 1983 that warned that Pakistan had begun planning an assault on the Saltoro Ridge. A force known as the Burzil Force was to be launched from Skardu under "Operation Ababeel". Being aware of this intelligence, an Indian force under "Operation Meghdoot" was formed, which captured the heights of Saltoro barely 48 hours before the Pakistan operation was to be started.
