Kargil War's 20th anniversary: Know the story of valour

The Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated on July 26 every year to commemorate India's victory in the Kargil war and to honour war heroes.

On this historic day in 1999, the army took control of posts in extremely difficult and treacherous glaciated terrain across the Himalayas in the Ladakh region, after 60 days of fighting.
