SRINAGAR: As a pre-cursor to the 27th Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations, a delegation of military veterans and Veer Naris led by Major General P. Vivekananda (Retd) arrived at Badami Bagh Cantonment, Srinagar, on July 13, underscoring the spirit and fervour of patriotism amongst the Armed Forces Veterans.
Kargil Vijay Diwas serves as a solemn reminder of the courage, honour, selflessness, and supreme sacrifice of our soldiers, inspiring us to renew our commitment to the values they upheld. The Nation celebrates the 27th anniversary of the victory by hosting a series of events at Srinagar, Drass, and Kargil.
The Akhil Bhartiya Poorva Sainik Seva Parishad is conducting an Ex-Servicemen visit to Srinagar, followed by visits to Drass and Kargil. The team of valiant Veterans and Veer Naris paid tribute at the Chinar War Memorial, visited the “Ibadat-e-Shahadat” museum, and witnessed the rich heritage and culture of Jammu and Kashmir.
The event highlighted the role of Ex-Servicemen in collaborating with Kashmiri society towards Nation Building. The visit appreciates the energy, spirit, and camaraderie of the Veterans which epitomise the motto of “Naam Namak aur Nishaan” and reinforces the adage “Once a Soldier Always a Soldier”.
