ITANAGAR, July 26: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Saturday paid tributes to the heroes of the 1999 Kargil War by laying a wreath at the war memorial in Ladakh’s Drass, marking the 26th anniversary of India’s victory in the high-altitude conflict. Standing in the shadow of the mountains where the Indian Armed Forces etched one of their most valiant chapters in history, Khandu described the Kargil victory as not just a military triumph, but also a symbol of unmatched courage and unity. Recalling the events of May 1999, when Pakistani intrusions led to one of the fiercest mountain battles since World War II, Khandu said the response of Indian forces embodied the resilience and unity of the nation.
