Kargil War  

BSF’s 73rd battalion is celebrating Vijay Diwas by felicitating the family members of martyrs in Amritsar.

Kargil martyr Harish Paul's mother was promised that a school would be built in her son's name, along with a library and a cemetery. But none of the promises have been fulfilled yet, and it's 20 years since the war.

On the occasion of Vijay Diwas, the Jalandhar BSF personnel took part in a bicycle rally to commemorate Kargil War and remember the sacrifices of the soldiers
 

Defence minister Rajnath Singh commemorated the 20th anniversary of 'Operation Vijay' and said he wants Kashmir to become not only paradise of India but tourist paradise of the world

The 20th anniversary of "Operation Vijay" will be celebrated with the theme 'Remember, Rejoice and Renew' and troops from three battalions will undertake expeditions to the peaks where their units had fought under impossible conditions to drive out the intruders.

Five Mirage 2000, two MiG 21s and one Sukoi 30 MKI were on static display at the base.
