President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday led the nation in paying tributes to the armed forces personnel who fought valiantly in harsh conditions to defend India’s territory and handed a crushing defeat to Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil conflict.
On July 26, 1999, the Indian ‘Army announced the successful culmination of Operation Vijay, declaring victory after a nearly three-month-long battle on the icy heights of Kargil in Ladakh.
The day is observed as Kargil Vijay Diwas every year.
“This day symbolises the extraordinary valor, courage, and steadfast determination of our jawans. Their dedication and supreme sacrifice for the nation will forever inspire its citizens,” Murmu said in a social media post.
The President is also the Supreme Commander of the armed forces.
Various events were organised across the country, including at the Kargil War Memorial in Drass, to mark the occasion.
