Bana Post


Bana Post, ht. 21007 ft (6404 m), is a little to the south of Bilafond La (or Pass of the Butterflies). It was Pakistan's Quaid Post till the 26th of June, 1987 till it was taken in a spectacularly brave direct assault by Sgt. Havildar Bana Singh of Jak Rifles. It remains with India. I think this is the correct position.
