Operation Meghdoot was a military operation launched by the Indian Armed Forces on 13 April 1984 to capture the Siachen Glacier in the northernmost region of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Lance Naik Chandrashekhar, also known as Chandu, was a soldier in the Indian Army who participated in this operation.

During the operation, Chandrashekhar was part of the team that was tasked with capturing the Bilafond La, a strategically important pass on the Siachen Glacier. The team had to climb up to an altitude of over 19,000 feet in extremely harsh weather conditions to reach the pass.
