BHUBANESWAR: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik was on Saturday paid his rich tribute to Heros of Kargil War. “Tributes to all brave soldiers who fought with exemplary valour in #KargilWar, in one of the most challenging terrain, to protect every inch of our motherland. On #KargilVijayDiwas, join the nation to offer homage to the martyrs who fought gallantly till their last breath,” tweeted Naveen Patnaik @Naveen_Odisha
The nation commemorates Kargil Vijay Diwas every year on July 26 to recount the sacrifice and martyrdom of our armed forces that brought laurels to the nation by defeating a deceitful and untrustworthy neighbour of ours during the Kargil War of 1999. It is celebrated to honour the sacrifices of our brave soldiers, who laid down their lives on the lofty heights of Kargil on the frontlines to secure an unparalleled victory in the annals of military history.
The war, fought mainly in the uncompromising climate of the upper Himalayas, saw the raw courage of Indian soldiers assaulting uphill, unmindful of enemy fire and dislodging them after a tough hand-to-hand fight.
