New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said that the triumph in the Kargil War showed India’s courage, restraint, and dignity. Speaking at an event to commemorate Kargil Vijay Diwas, the chief minister said it was a tribute to the valour, discipline, and dedication of the soldiers of the nation. “The triumph in Kargil was a victory of India’s courage, restraint, dignity and devotion to the motherland. We pay tribute to the brave martyrs on this auspicious day,” said the chief minister. “Their sacrifice fills us with a sentiment of putting the ‘nation first’,” she added. Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed on July 26 every year. On this day in 1999, the Indian Army announced the successful culmination of Operation Vijay, declaring victory after a nearly three-month battle on the icy heights of Kargil, including such super-high-altitude locations as Tololing and Tiger Hill.In a separate event, CM handed over interest-free loans of Rs 25,000 each to 201 women entrepreneurs in north Delhi’s Burari to expand their businesses. This loan was provided by a social organisation. Appreciating the initiative, Gupta said social organisations serve as the backbone of society, playing a vital role in improving lives.
