Jalandhar, July 26, 2025: The 26th Anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas was observed with full military honour and solemnity by Vajra Corps, paying a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable courage and Supreme Sacrifice of Indian Army soldiers during Operation Vijay in 1999.
In the days leading up to the anniversary, Formations across the Corps area engaged in a series of commemorative and outreach activities. War heroes and families of the Martyrs were visited and honoured, while their inspiring stories were brought to life through public engagements. These were complemented by educational and patriotic events - including lectures, debates, quizzes, and painting competitions - aimed at instilling historical awareness and National pride among children and youth.
The highlight of the day was a solemn wreath-laying ceremony, attended by Veterans, Serving Personnel and their families. The General Officer Commanding, Vajra Corps, paid floral tribute to the Martyrs and addressed the gathering. In his remarks, he lauded the unmatched valour of soldiers in the Kargil conflict and reaffirmed the Army’s unwavering commitment to the families of the martyrs. He urged all ranks to remain inspired by their legacy and uphold the glorious traditions of the Indian Army and the honour of the Tricolour.
Kargil Vijay Diwas, observed annually on 26 July, marks India’s victory in the Kargil War, where Indian soldiers braved harsh terrain, severe weather and a well-entrenched enemy to reclaim every inch of Indian territory with exceptional courage and determination.
The commemorations organised by Vajra Corps served as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made in service to the Nation and reinforced the Army’s collective pledge to never forget, never forgive and always remain prepared to defend the motherland - with Resolve, Courage, and Honour.
