Vijay diwas

Awarded the Maha Vir Chakra, Captain Anuj Nayyar secured Peak 4875 in a manner that etched his name him alongside some of India’s greatest Kargil heroes.

Giving his unit the valuable time to capture the crucial Point 4812, Lt Nongrum charged through the fire zone, single-handedly destroying bunkers and killing six enemy soldiers. Even after being severely injured, he chose to fight till his last breath and succumbed to his injuries on the battlefield.

In this moving letter, the daughter of a Kargil martyr writes an ode to her father who gave his life defending the nation on the battlefield.
