It was on July 26, 1999, Indian Army had declared successful culmination of ‘Operation Vijay’, declaring a victory after nearly three-month-long battles against Pakistan on the icy heights of Kargil.
To commemorate 25 years of Kargil victory, Indian Air Force is celebrating ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas Rajat Jayanti’ at Air Force Station Sarsawa from 12 Jul to 26 Jul 24, honoring the brave hearts who made the supreme sacrifice for the nation. I celebrate Sarsawa for launching our successful military operation (Operation Eagle) in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, the Bangladesh Ops of 1971 apart from the opportunity to conduct the parachute training while I served in Establishment 22, Vikas Regiment, Special Frontier Force. 26th July is an important date in my memory for I joined the Indian Army Medical Corps at Lucknow on this date in 1970. Sarsawa lives in my memory for I served in Sarsawa to support parachute training and for Bangladesh Ops of 1971, the deployment to the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
