L-G Sinha pays tributes to fallen heroes on Kargil Vijay Diwas
Srinagar, July 26 (PTI) Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday paid rich tributes to the fallen heroes of the 1999 Kargil War on the 27th Kargil Vijay Diwas.
“On Kargil Vijay Diwas, I bow to our martyrs who made the supreme sacrifice to safeguard the sovereignty and honour of Maa Bharti during Operation Vijay. The extraordinary courage of our armed forces will forever inspire generations to come,” Sinha posted on X.
“I also bow in deep reverence to the families of our fallen heroes. Their selfless dedication remains an enduring symbol of our ultimate national pride,” he added.
The occasion marks the glorious victory of 1999 when Indian soldiers, braving snow-clad peaks and relentless firing by Pakistani troops, reclaimed the heights of Kargil with unwavering resolve.
Operation Vijay was the name given to India’s limited war after the neighbouring country’s infiltration.
Kargil Vijay Diwas commemorates the culmination of Operation Vijay on July 26, 1999.
