Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrated on 26th July

The nation is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas on 26th July. In this day, Indian Armed forces secured one of the most dramatic and hard-fought victories in history.
The day marks the victory of Indian armed forces in Operation Vijay in 1999 when they evicted the infiltrators backed by the Pakistani army from high outposts in the Kargil sector.
The theme for this year is 'Remember, Rejoice and Renew'.
The Kargil war was fought for more than 60 days and ended with India regaining control of all the previously held territory.
The victory of Tiger Hill was one of the crucial achievements in the 60-day long conflict.
