As a tribute to the valour and sacrifice of the Army, a commemorative bike rally was organized on Tuesday (2nd July, 2024) from the Old Kargil Memorial to Randhawa Top. This significant event marks the 25th anniversary, Rajat Jayanti of Kargil Vijay Diwas, celebrating Bharat’s momentous victory over Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil War. The rally was organized by the Army in collaboration with SAEL and the NGO Pawan Prithvi Paani.
On this occasion a wreath-laying ceremony at the Old Kargil Memorial by the chief guest, Brigadier Jaideep Chanda, honouring the brave martyr soldiers of Kargil war was held.
Later, the recently renovated Kargil Heritage Hut was inaugurated. This heritage site had been opened for tourists by the Army in June 2023, now features vintage mine-protected vehicles such as Rakshak and Cassiper, alongside an “I Love India” selfie point with the iconic backdrop of Point 13620, symbolizing the strength and resilience of our armed forces.
