In a solemn ceremony organised at Sudarshan Chakra War Memorial on the occasion of ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas’, Lieutenant General Atulya Solankey, General Officer Commanding, Sudarshan Chakra Corps, on behalf of all ranks of the Corps, paid homage to the Bravehearts of the victorious Indian Army who made the supreme sacrifice for the Nation during the Kargil War. In the wake of precautionary measures which are in place due to Covid, only limited number of military personal and war veterans were present during the ceremony. ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas’ is celebrated every year on July 26 as tribute to gallant soldiers of the Indian Defence Forces, who fought in ‘Operation Vijay’ and made the complete nation proud.
 
This operation was launched by the Indian Army to evict Pakistani regulars and militants from the dominating heights of 16000 feet in Kargil - Drass - Batalik sector of Jammu & Kashmir state in the summers of year 1999. The sheer determination and valour of the Indian Soldiers forced Pakistani Army and militants to accept defeat after suffering heavy casualties. On the occasion, Lieutenant General Atulya Solankey exhorted all ranks to continue training hard and be prepared for any operational role so that our adversary faces the same result every time.
