Harvey Kelly devoted himself to reconnaisance and planning and his final plan titled "Jehad" was ready by 17 July 1948.Ironically on the same day Lieutenant Colonel Harvey Kelly received the orders to report back to the army headquarters as the British Commander in chief Gracey had taken a policy decision to withdraw all British officers.






Command of 4/10 Baluch was assumed by Lieutenant Colonel Malik Sher Bahadur ex Rajputan Rifles.


Pandu was captured as per Harvey Kellys plan on 24 July 1948.
