The Delta Force, a counter insurgency force of the Indian Army, Thursday celebrated its 25th Raising Day.
A wreath laying ceremony was organised at the Delta Force headquaters, on the occasion, in the memory of those who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, a defence spokesman said.
Raised on September 6, 1994, the force has been instrumental in eliminating terrorism from the Chenab Valley and ushering peace in the region.
Till date, the Force has been honoured with 1,380 Gallantry Awards including one Ashok Chakra, five Kirti Chakras and 46 Shaurya Chakras, he said.
Addressing the troops on the occasion, General Officer Commanding Delta Force Major General Rajiv Nanda praised all the veterans and personnel of the Delta Force.
He further called upon all the ranks to rededicate themselves to the motto 'Dridhta aur Veerta' and to strive for excellence.
