INDIAN ARMY Inspires Upper Assam with Kargil Vijay Diwas Tributes.

On the 26th anniversary of India’s landmark victory in the Kargil War, the Indian Army orchestrated a series of commemorative events across Upper Assam, paying fitting homage to the unparalleled bravery and sacrifice of the Kargil heroes. The initiatives sought to foster patriotic spirit and a sense of duty among the region’s youth.

The day commenced with a rousing bike rally, flagged off from Kakopathar and culminating at Doomdooma Town Field. The event witnessed vibrant participation from 155 local youths—each ride serving as a symbolic salute to the bravehearts of 1999 who made the ultimate sacrifice for the nation.

To deepen understanding of the valour displayed by the region’s own sons during the Kargil conflict, interactive sessions unfolded at Daisjan, Pengri and Kendriya Vidyalaya Lekhapani. These gatherings highlighted the contributions of Kargil War heroes from the North East, aiming to inspire the younger generation to embrace the virtues of sacrifice, duty and service. A special motivational film on Kargil Vijay Diwas was also screened, instilling pride and awareness among the audience. The programmes drew attendance from 17 teachers and 265 students. A flag salutation ceremony at Kendriya Vidyalaya Lekhapani further lent gravitas to the observances, reinforcing reverence for the national flag.

A particularly poignant moment marked the day, as a team of Indian Army personnel led by senior officers visited the home of Captain Jintu Gogoi, VrC, in Golaghat. The officers engaged with the fallen soldier's family and paid heartfelt tributes to a true son of Assam who laid down his life in defence of the nation. The visit stood as a moving testament to the Army’s enduring gratitude and respect.

Through these initiatives, the Indian Army once again demonstrated its resolute commitment to honouring the legacy of its martyrs while nurturing a culture of patriotism, duty and service amongst the youth of Upper Assam.
