related to the article in the title of the time, which is not a Pakistani source:

"Three 120-mm and two 81-mm mortars stopped Indian assaults on the Tiger Hill
complex for several weeks. Well-developed Bunkers, wire communications
connected the positions, which sat in nullahs protected by steep mountainsides.
Coordinated indirect fire confused Indian offensives and inflicted heavy casualties"

The NLI traces its lineage to scout units raised by the colonial British Army to patrol the Himalayan frontier. In 1973 Pakistan reorganized three of these formations, the Karakoram, Northern and Gilgit Scouts, into the NLI. The organization posted a headquarters at Bunji, in the Northern Areas, from which commanders supervised the unit’s primary task, border defense.
Over the years the NLI expanded training to include specialized missions such as mountain and arctic warfare. The soldiers are local men, accustomed to the difficult terrain and high altitude atmosphere. In 1999 the NLI’s officers were assigned from regular Pakistan Army infantry units, and routinely trained at the army’s elite schools, including a world-class mountaineering school in the Northern Areas.

NLI battalions hold approximately 600 men. An NLI battalion consists of four rifle companies, each consisting of three platoons and a heavy weapons section. Platoons have three sections and two light machine guns. Each company has two 60-mm mortars. The light infantry battalions have few organic combined arms assets. The headquarters contains an 81-mm mortar platoon with four tubes and an air defense section with four 12.7-mm
machine guns. Each battalion has an animal transport section, an essential source of mobility in the mountains.
