PM Modi reaches Kargil, pays tribute to the heroes of the war
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday paid tributes to the soldiers who lost their lives in the 1999 Kargil War. PM Modi laid a wreath at the Kargil War Memorial, Drass, Ladakh, on the occasion of the 25th Kargil Vijay Diwas.
PM Modi visited Kargil on the 25th anniversary of the Kargil Vijay Diwas to honor the courageous soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan, Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhari, Chief of Air Staff, and Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Navy Chief, and all ranks of the armed forces also joined in remembering the supreme sacrifice made by the “Bravehearts” during the Kargil war.
The Kargil War of 1999 lasted for three months during which the Indian Army backed by the Air Force pushed back Pakistani Army regulars from tough and rugged mountain tops of the region in one of the most challenging military operations in India’s Independence history.
Indian forces successfully recaptured strategic positions in the Kargil sector of Jammu and Kashmir that had been infiltrated by Pakistani soldiers and terrorists.
More than 500 brave soldiers of the Army paid the supreme sacrifice to make the country proud.
Kargil Vijay Diwas, celebrated every year on July 26 in India, honors the triumph of ‘Operation Vijay’.
