On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas, a wreath-laying ceremony was held at Vijay Smarak, Fort William, Kolkata, to honour the courageous soldiers who fought and sacrificed their lives during the Kargil War.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said the world recognized the indomitable valour and courage of Indian soldiers during the Kargil War.
"They will continue to inspire and motivate future generations of not only soldiers but also the youth of the nation," he said.
Team DESH, a non-profit dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of the Indian Armed Forces commemorated the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas with an event.
In 1999, the Indian Army defeated and chased away Pakistani forces that had crossed the Line of Control (LOC) and taken up positions in Kargil.
Shah expressed his gratitude and remembered the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to uphold and safeguard the integrity of the nation.
While addressing the 67th edition of the programme, PM Modi said, 'Pakistan undertook this misadventure with sinister plans to capture India's land and to divert attention from its ongoing internal conflicts.'
'I congratulate all Indian citizens on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas. The sacrifices made by soldiers, which helped us win the Kargil war, will always be a source of inspiration for the armed forces,' Singh told reporters.
Inducted in 1985, MiG-27 has been the mainstay of IAF's ground attack capability and played an important role in the 1999 Kargil War.
Over a momentous mark, all the MiG 27 fighter aircraft in the Squadron will take their last flight tomorrow from AFS and thereafter will be phased out of Indian Air Force.
