[5] While a large area was captured, it had little to no economic or political impact on Pakistan owing to the region's emptiness.

The teams of 10 Para SF were given the objective of striking Pakistani positions 80 km inside, hitting supply lines and creating confusion.

To break the impasse, Naik Nihal Singh took a jeep and charged at high speed at the Pakistani post, firing the mounted light machine gun.

This allowed the rest of the team to also attack, with 18 machine guns firing in unison, causing the Pakistani defenders to flee.

[9][10] India continued to hold the captured territory until 22 December 1972 and handed it over to Pakistan after the Shimla Pact of 1972.
