Jalandhar: Vajra Corps celebrated Vijay Diwas on 16 Dec 2016. To commemorate the event, Lt Gen BS Sehrawat, General Officer Commanding, Vajra Corps, along war veterans and other senior serving and retired officers paid homage and tributes to the martyrs at the Vajra Corps War Memorial.

The historic victory signifies a unique and unparalleled feat, wherein forces fought selflessly for a just and noble cause, to liberate the people of Bangladesh. The Vajra Corps proved its mettle on the strategic Western front and achieved its objectives with élan and vigor.

A proud nation conferred Eight Maha Vir Chakras, 47 Vir Chakras and numerous other awards on the valiant men of the Vajra Corps. This occasion was one of the finest hours of the Indian Armed Forces, which came up triumphant over Pakistan in the 1971 War.
