Sierra Leone operation was Op Khukri not Op Cactus. My mistake earlier.
18 GRENADIERS, one of the best. Soon after Kargil war, sent the Bn on UN Peace Keeping mission to Sierra Leone. It got involved in the very successful Op Cactus. Salute to the Bn.🇮🇳 @khushal1954 then Commanding Officer
Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrated to honour heroes of this war; those who returned with victory & those who never came back. As we mark 26th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, it's not just a remembrance, it's a moment to express our gratitude, share pride & spread patriotic spirit.



Diving back into "Kargil: From Surprise to Victory" by General @Vedmalik1 as #KargilVijayDiwas approaches. The book captures the grit, strategy, and unmatched valour of our soldiers in the icy heights in 1999. Time to relive India’s triumph against all odds. 🪖🇮🇳
The Pakistanis are treacherous and well equipped, but Indian Army will fight with what we have - then Army Chief V.P Malik @Vedmalik1 Jai Hind! #KargilVijayDivas @adgpi
I am very happy to see that the very inspiring story of Kargil war continues to be remembered and narrated to our people. This will not only inculcate patriotism and national pride but also a sense of resilience, camaraderie and valour when faced with challenges. My best wishes!

Welcome back Gp Capt Shubhanshu Shukla from your space journey ! Proud of your unique achievements 🇮🇳
Every year near Kargil Vijay Diwas, I get these greetings & Rakhee from Team Desh. I feel these greetings & good wishes are not only for me but for all soldiers who fought Kargil war & those deployed on all borders now. Thank you Adrija & Team Desh ! @TEAM_DESH


In #Kashmir, while Pakistan pushes guns and fear, the #IndianArmy is quietly changing lives through education. Army Goodwill Schools are giving youth the hope, dignity, and a real future. That’s what true empowerment looks like! #KashmirRising #progresswithpeace @TinyDhillon
12th July is the day when Maj Sudhir Walia signed off from the Army House. He had volunteered to be with his Paltan while he was serving as an ADC to @Vedmalik1 sir. Before reaching Kargil, he went to meet his family, with his newly purchased car. #AmarBalidani

That's factually correct & justified.
🚨 BIG STATEMENT by Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu "None of the Indian states directly share BORDER with China." "We share border with Tibet only." "In 1950, China forcefully occupied Tibet. Officially, Tibet is under China, but originally, we share border with Tibet."
Nearly half world's supply of heavy rare earths from Kachin, Myanmar, taken to China for processing into magnets for EVs and wind turbines. China has threatened to halt buying minerals, if militia KIA seizes full control of Bhamo town, 100km from china border.
I am just speechless thinking how much pain our heroes endured to save our borders. When Patriotism and valour walk hand in hand, this amalgamation creates a warrior like Captain Batra ( Ye dil mange more). Hats off. 🫡
Has indulgence by #Trump and open support from #China emboldened #AsimMunir to call terrorism in Kashmir as "legitimate struggle" and plan for a showdown with #India? Samvad with an ever candid Gen @Vedmalik1. Link in comments.
Amidst the unforgiving peaks of #Kargil, the Battle of Tiger Hill stands as an eternal testament to the unyielding spirit of the #IndianArmy. With hearts ablaze and souls unbroken, our brave soldiers stormed the treacherous heights, defying the fury of enemy fire and the wrath of…
There was a cab driver in Delhi who dreamt every day of becoming an army man. He finally made it on his third attempt & was assigned to the J & K Rifles. Within a year he was in Kargil and there was a war on. On this day, 26 years ago, Rifleman Sanjay Kumar volunteered to lead…
