Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on July 26 to commemorate the war that was fought between May 8, 1999, and July 26, 1999, against Pakistan intruders, who in the winters of 1998 had entered the Indian territory across the Line of Control and occupied fortified defences overlooking the NH 1A in Kargil’s Drass and Batalik Sectors of Ladakh region with an aim of dominating all military and civil movements.
