General Officer Commanding Gajraj Corps Lt Gen Shantanu Dayal layed a wreath and paid tributes to the martyred heroes of the Kargil war who sacrificed their lives to safeguard the sovereignty and integrity of the country on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas at Gajraj War Memorial in Tezpur.
Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on Jul 26 to commemorate India’s resounding victory over Pakistan in Operation Vijay in 1999.
The Kargil war is regarded as a testimony of the Indian Army’s grit and determination, in which the soldiers exhibited dauntless courage, resilience, valour and fought against all odds in inhumane temperatures of the high altitude mountains in Kargil.
Indian Army evicted the entrenched infiltrators from the icy heights and ensured a convincing victory for the country.
