Kargil Vijay Diwas

 26 July, the day which symbolises the bravery of India and its Soldiers. This was the day when operation Vijay was officially declared successful. The war lasted for over 60 days in the Kargil region of Ladakh. 



Pakistan army betrayed the bilateral understanding of both the Nations that the post would remain unattended during the winter season and took the command of Indian high posts. Pakistani army denied their involvement in the war and stated that this was the action of the independent Kashmiri Rebel forces. But everyone knows the truth. 

Just few months back February 1999, both the countries signed the Lahore declaration, promising to provide a peaceful and bilateral solution to the Kashmir conflict. 

The total area seized by the infiltrators is generally accepted between 130 to 200 sq km. 

The Government of India took instant action and mobilized 200,000 troops and again gain the control of high posts which belong to Indian territory. This plan of action is known as operation Vijay. 


527 brave soldiers of Indian armed forces lost their lives during the war. 


We celebrate this day every year in the memory of these brave soldiers.

Until now 15 people have lost their lives and 100+ are missing and very heavy destruction have happened to two hydropower plants.

What is a glacier? The collection of a very huge amount of ice for a very long time in a particular area where that ice does not melt due to the climatic conditions of that area. Example mountain 🏔️ tops, Alaska and Iceland. Due to the regular deposit of ice, its weight increases continuously which leads...
