This enabled Pakistan to reinforce the sector from Kasur/Khem Karan sector, which further increased

the stiff resistance faced by the Indian forces. Indian infantry also faced problems in keeping-up with
their armoured counterparts, as unlike Pakistan, they were not equipped with track vehicles. Yet, it
is to the credit of Indian units that they advanced up to line Chawinda–Phillora and threatened
Sialkot, clearing and capturing villages and obstacles en-route.
