Ever since the first attack for the breakthrough beyond Zojila in mid-September 1948, Major Kartick Chandra Mukerjee put in sustained hard work in the evacuation of the casualties. During the first battle, over 80 casualties were evacuated safely from the most difficult line of evacuation by his personal example in the face of enemy shell fire. He was one of the last men to leave.

In the final march to Kargil, in severe cold weather and difficult terrain, he again rose to the occasion and ensured smooth evacuation of the casualties despite the shortage of porters and ponies. The success of the medical arrangements for the battle of Kargil was mainly due to his resourcefulness under the most adverse circumstances.
