ITANAGAR, 25 Jul: Governor KT Parnaik, on behalf of the people of the state, paid tributes to the martyrs of the Kargil war, on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas on Thursday.
He said that “on 26 July, 1999, the Indian Army successfully completed its mission of ousting the Pakistani Army intruders from the Kargil Heights in Kashmir.”
