Army troops today paid tributes and homage to the soldiers killed in Operation Kargil, a day after the 19th anniversary of the Kargil Vijay Divas, by lighting of candles at the Udhampur-based Northern Command.
Lt Gen Paramjit Singh, Chief of Staff, Northern Command, along with a number of military and civil officials, including all ranks and families, paid their homage at the Shardanjali Park in Udhampur.
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 bone-chilling temperatures of the high altitude mountains in Kargil.
Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on July 26 to commemorate India's resounding victory over Pakistan in Operation Vijay, 1999.
