New Delhi, July 26 — India today observed Kargil Vijay Diwas, commemorating the nation’s resounding victory in the 1999 Kargil War against Pakistan and saluting the indomitable spirit of its armed forces. The day was marked by solemn tributes, emotional ceremonies, and nationwide remembrance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in paying homage to the fallen soldiers at the National War Memorial in New Delhi. “The nation salutes the unmatched valor and sacrifice of our brave soldiers who protected the integrity of our borders in Kargil. Their courage will inspire generations to come,” he said.
Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, also remembered the martyrs with a heartfelt message: “Kargil Vijay Diwas is a reminder of our soldiers’ undying commitment to the motherland. We remember their courage and pay tribute to the martyrs who made the ultimate sacrifice.”
In Dras, Ladakh, the main battlefield during the conflict, top Indian Armed Forces officials laid wreaths at the Dras War Memorial, paying silent tribute to their fallen comrades. The event was accompanied by a ceremonial parade, drawing participation from veterans, locals, and dignitaries.
Across the country, citizens gathered for candlelight vigils, patriotic processions, and commemorative events, underscoring a united spirit of gratitude toward the Indian military.
Observed every year on July 26, Kargil Vijay Diwas marks the successful culmination of Operation Vijay, when Indian troops recaptured high-altitude outposts infiltrated by Pakistani forces. The victory came after weeks of intense fighting in the treacherous terrain of the Kargil sector in Jammu and Kashmir.
As the nation remembered the courage of its soldiers, Kargil Vijay Diwas once again stood as a poignant reminder of patriotism, sacrifice, and national unity.
