Like previous years, this year too, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will pay homage to martyrs at Amar Jawan Jyoti at the India Gate in New Delhi on July 26. The President and Vice President of India will also commemorate the sacrifices made by Indian soldiers.

To make the 24th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas more special, an all-women motorbike expedition has been organised this year. The women's motorcade rally will travel on bikes from Delhi to Kargil War Memorial in Drass. The Tri-Service 'Nari Sashaktikaran Women Motorcycle Rally' was flagged off by the Chief of the Army Staff, General Manoj Pande, on July 18 from the National War Memorial, and it will reach Ladak on July 25.

The women bikers will pay respect to the war heroes at the Kargil War Memorial on July 26.

Every year, Kargil Diwas is celebrated on July 26 to remember the hard-earned victory of the country against Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil War. This day is celebrated to pay tribute to the bravery and valour of those 527 Indian Army personnel who sacrificed their life. The war between India and Pakistan lasted for more than 60 days and ended after India regained control of all the territories that were captured by Pakistani intruders.
