KARGIL VIJAY DIWAS APPEAL

Dear friends,

July 26 is Kargil Vijay Diwas, the 12th anniversary of the Kargil conflict during which as many as 527 Indian military personnel were martyred and 1,363 severely wounded. Four Param Vir Chakras were awarded, two posthumously and nine Maha Vir Chakras were awarded, six posthumously besides 55 Vir Chakras.

Several households – both military and non-military ones – have appreciatively adopted the poignant ceremony of lighting candles at home in the past two years.

You are requested to light a candle each at your residences' entrances and lay a marigold each by its side at 2000 hrs after saying a prayer for those who did not come back. This may additionally be done at offices.

Jai Hind!
