Dras, Jul 26: It has been 20 years since the monumental Kargil battle was fought. Our heroic jawans had successfully rid the Line of Control infiltrated by Pakistani fighters back in 1999.

On the occasion, at a press conference in Dras, the 27th chief of Indian Army, General Bipin Rawat released a stern statement as a response to Pakistan, "This was a misadventure. Misadventures are normally not repeated and if Islamabad tries for any, then they will get a bloodier nose next time.”

General Rawat was all praises for the jawans of Kargil who faced extreme odds to claim victory over Pakistani force. Although the latter infiltrated several vantage points, Indian army was successful in being victorious. The Indian Army, supported by the Indian Air Force, was successful in taking back the area captured by the Pakistani troops and terrorists.

The Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed as a day to pay homage to those who sacrificed their lives in protecting the borders of the country. Further, General Rawat said, “I want to convey to our people that you can be rest assured that any task given to the defence services will always be accomplished no matter how difficult it is. Our soldiers will continue to man and guard our borders.”
