Leh, Jun 27: As the country observes the 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas, the Indian Army has launched a deeply moving outreach by personally visiting the homes of soldiers who laid down their lives in the 1999 Kargil War. The initiative is both a tribute and a reminder that the nation continues to honour its brave sons.
In an emotional show of respect, Army personnel are reaching out directly to the families of the fallen, offering commemorative tokens and words of deep gratitude. Through each knock on the door, the Army is delivering a heartfelt message: India remembers, and always will.
The tribute is more than ceremonial — it is a living testimony of the Army’s enduring bond with its fallen comrades. Officers are sharing stories of courage and devotion to duty, ensuring that the memory of these soldiers continues to inspire future generations.
In Leh, Rifleman Kunzang Rigzin’s family, residing on Tukcha Road, received a special visit. Rigzin, a Sena Medal awardee, was remembered with honour. Similar gestures were extended to the families of Subedar Angchok Dorjey of Hero Colony and Havaldar Rigzin Wangyal from Chube village.
Naib Subedar Sukhdev Raj and his team engaged with these families, recounting personal stories and moments from the battlefield. The emotional connection reaffirmed that these families remain an inseparable part of the Army fraternity and the wider national fabric.
The scenes at these homes were a mix of solemn remembrance and proud reflection. Emotions flowed freely, mingled with chants of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Veer Jawaan Amar Rahein”, echoing the collective respect of a grateful nation.
This heartfelt initiative speaks volumes about the Indian Army’s resolve to honour its own. It is a living promise — the memory of the Kargil martyrs will never fade.
