Mangalore, Jul 27: In commemoration of Kargil Vijay Diwas, a gathering of young and old alike paid floral tributes to Kargil martyrs at the war memorial near Circuit House here on Friday July 26 evening.

Citizens braved the heavy rains and flocked to the war memorial in good numbers to pay their tributes and remember the heroes.

On the occasion, Dakshina Kannada Ex-Servicemen Association president Colonel Sharath Bhandary lit the lamp and offered flowers to Kargil martyrs.

Secretary S M Iron, treasurer Vikram Dutt, Brigadiar I N Rai, Lions district governor K C Prabhu Bhootanatheshwar temple managing committee head Vijay Vittalnath Shetty, ZP member Yashwanti Alva, Dr Annayya Kulal among others were present.

Kargil Vijay Diwas is commemorated every year on July 26 in honour of those who lost their lives in the Kargil war against Pakistan in 1999, which India had won.

    Dear Jawan.
    A big thanks and heartfelt Salute for the big sacrifice you did for us. I am sorry there is limited number of commentators wishing you posthumously. Don’t mistake us, few of us, go very busy and only comment in big numbers for trivial issues.

    Kargil War Heroes remembered..Good..But look at the last photo,Do they know what is Vijay Diwas ? Do they know what is Karil war ? If both girls had any knowledge about Kargil heroes especially Capt Sourabh Kalia,they would not have paid floral tribute in this way..(smiling as if they attended b'day party)..
    Capt Sourabh Kalia was kidnapped along with 5 other jawans by Pak army.They were tortured for 5 full days.Capt Sourabh's both eyes were removed with knife,his ear was pierced with sharp nail,cigarete mark was all on his body..Every Indian must remember our jawans every minute,not only on Vijay Diwas..Without them,we can't survie even for a single minute...Jai Hind..

    In rememberance of our jawans, we Salute them.
    It is also a day to remember the betrayal of our NAMAK HARAM Politicians who gave safe passage back home to Paki terrorists, thus losing a lifetime opportunity of settling a border issue once for all.
    It is also a day to ponder about the Kargil coffin scam , and think of the extent of corruption cancer that has eaten up the soul of our nation.
