Eleven years ago, on July 26, the Kargil conflict between India and Pakistan was declared closed after Pakistani intruders were evicted by the brave Indian Army soldiers from different peaks and locations.

Various functions will be held at different formations of the Army but the biggest tribute will once again be paid at the Drass War Memorial under the 8th Mountain Division. A two-day celebration began at the memorial on Sunday.

The celebrations began with a briefing on ‘Operation Vijay’ at Umbala View Point, which provides a breath-taking view of the majestic Tiger Hill and other battle areas in the district, about 205 km from Srinagar, officials said.
