New Delhi : As the nation celebrates the 20th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas this year on July 26, a grand ceremony was organised on July 5 at Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi, where Gen Bipin Rawat, Chief of the Army Staff, released Kargil Tribute Song to honour, salute, and pay homage to the Kargil martyrs and war veterans.
The song, a tribute to the soldiers, has been composed by Sammer Anjaan, an eminent Hindi lyricist, and sung by Shatadru Kabir. The music has been composed by Raju Singh, according to a PIB release.
Operation Vijay involved major operations to evict Pakistani intruders from Indian territory on the icy heights of Dras, Kargil, Batalik, and Turtuk and bears witness to the courage, valour and sacrifice of the soldiers of the Indian armed forces. The 20th anniversary celebrations are aimed at ‘Remembering their sacrifice’, ‘Rejoicing in their victory’ and ‘Renewing the pledge’ to go beyond the call of duty when called upon.
