New Delhi. As the nation celebrates 20th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas this year on July 26, a grand ceremony was organised at Manekshaw Centre in New Delhi on July 5 in which Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) Gen Bipin Rawat 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 Mr Sammer Anjaan, eminent hindi lyricist and sung by Mr Shatadru Kabir. The music has been composed by Mr Raju Singh.

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.
