A memorial has been built in the memory of the Indian Army soldiers who were martyred in the Kargil war with pink sandstone in Dras of Kargil.
On the 26th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Day, the army will have a two -day program from Friday in Dras, Kargil, Ladakh. It will pay tribute to the soldiers who were martyred in the fight with Pakistani intruders during the 1999 Kargil War.
On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Day, three Union Ministers, including the Minister of State for Defense, will visit the Kargil war memorial in Dras today and pay tribute to the brave soldiers. Last year, Prime Minister Modi paid tribute to the heroes of the war in Ladakh on the 25th Kargil Victory Day.
After Pakistan’s infiltration on 5 May 1999, there was a war between India and Pakistan on the hill peaks of Kargil. The war lasted for about 84 days. The war ended by India’s victory on 26 July 1999. In this, Kargil Victory Day is celebrated every year on 26 July, remembering the sacrifice and valor of Indian soldiers.
India fought Kargil war by running Operation Vijay The battle of Kargil began when Pakistani soldiers quietly captured the high hills of Kargil and made their hideouts. On 8 May 1999, about 12 soldiers from Pakistan were captured by Kargil’s Azam Chowki.
Initially it was described as an attack by intruders, but later it became clear that it included the Pakistani army. These Pakistani soldiers were seen by an Indian shepherd. The shepherd informed the Indian Army soldiers about the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers. In this way, India came to know about the infiltration for the first time.
Earlier India was understanding that only a few terrorists have occupied the valley of Kashmir, so India sent only a few soldiers to chase them. When the Indian Army was retaliated with different peaks, it was revealed that it was part of a major conspiracy.
Immediately Indian Defense Minister George Fernandes canceled his Russia tour. After this, Operation Vijay was launched. Pak soldiers were sitting on the high hills, due to which Indian soldiers faced a lot of difficulties.
Indian soldiers climbed hard at night to avoid the enemy’s eyes. Initially, the Indian Army had to suffer a lot due to this reason.
India attacked MiG-29 and Mirage-20000 The Air Force and the Navy also played a major role in this war. The Air Force bombed Pak troops through MiG-29 and Mirage-2000 aircraft. During this time, Pakistan had killed two of our fighter aircraft while one crashed.
The Navy ran the operation sword. Under this, many Pak ports including Karachi were stopped so that it could not supply the oil and fuel required for the Kargil war. At the same time, India had also closed Pakistan’s maritime trade route by bringing its ship fleet in the Arabian Sea.
A decisive turn came in this war when India also decided to field Bofors cannons in the battlefield. The Air Force attack from the sky and heavy bullets of Bofors cannon from the ground forced Pakistani soldiers to flee.
A fierce war between the two countries continued for about 2 months. In this war, 527 Indian soldiers were martyred and about 3000 soldiers of Pakistan were also killed. However, Pakistan claims only 357 soldiers dead. Finally, on 26 July 1999, India also captured Kargil’s last peak.
