Mountain Flight Refugee Surge Sardar Khan witnesses millions fleeing through roads incapable of carrying them. Human Traffic Vehicles, animals, luggage, and bodies become one moving obstruction. Strategic Retreat The Himalayas offer defense but only after immense civilian loss.

The Failed Roadblock

The Failed Roadblock Mission Sardar Khan is ordered to detonate charges beneath a refugee route. Refusal He and Sergeant Mukherjee resist an order that would kill civilians and trap thousands. Pressure The military threatens nuclear escalation if the road is not destroyed.

Raj-Singh’s Arrival

The Demolition

Secure Passes
