Army's Northern Command marks Vijay Diwas with wreath-laying ceremonies in J-K, Ladakh
Army's northern command Monday organised wreath-laying ceremonies at various places in Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh to celebrate Vijay Diwas, which marks India's victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war that led to the birth of Bangladesh as an independent nation. The Udhampur-based Northern Command commemorated the occasion with a wreath-laying ceremony led by its General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Lt Gen M V Suchindra Kumar at the Dhruva War Memorial, the Army said.
«He (Lt Gen Kumar) interacted with veterans who continue to inspire us through their legacy of courage and dedication,» the Northern Command said in a post on X.
The Jammu-based Tiger Division also celebrated the day at the 'Balidan Stambh', a war memorial, here.
The event was held to commemorate the supreme sacrifices made by the gallant soldiers during the India-Pakistan war of 1971 in which the Indian armed forces defeated the Pakistan Army in only 13 days to end the war on December 16, 1971, a defence spokesperson said.
To commemorate the event, the deputy general officer commanding, Tiger Division, laid a wreath at the eternal flame of the memorial with a ceremonial guard of honour in the presence of other ranks of the division, he said.
