Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday paid glowing tributes to the military personnel who made supreme sacrifices to ensure India’s victory in the 1999 Kargil war against Pakistan.
On July 26, 1999, the Indian Army announced the successful culmination of Operation Vijay, declaring victory after a nearly three-month battle on the icy heights of Kargil in Ladakh.
The day is observed as Kargil Vijay Diwas to commemorate India’s victory over Pakistan in the war.
