New Delhi, July 25 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday will visit the Kargil War Memorial on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas to pay tributes to the fallen soldiers of the 1999 India-Pakistan conflict.
Taking to X on Thursday, PM Modi wrote: “Tomorrow, 26th July, is a very special day for every Indian. We will mark the 25th Kargil Vijay Diwas. It is a day to pay homage to all those who protect our nation. I will visit the Kargil War Memorial and pay tributes to our brave heroes.”

The Kargil War Memorial was built by the Indian Army at Dras in Kargil district of Ladakh.
It commemorates the 1999 Kargil War between India and Pakistan.
