Every year, July 26 is celebrated as ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas’ to mark the successful completion of ‘Operation Vijay’, that ended after a three-month battle with Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC). The country lost nearly 490 Indian Army officers and soldiers in the war while flushing out militias and regular troops of Pakistan.
