Kargil vctory was an effective coordination by Army, Air Force and the Navy: Jr. Warrant Officer Ashishkumar Madhu

Even today loss of lives in one form or the other takes place on the border so that the people behind them stay protected. Effective coordination by the Army, Air Force and the Navy led us to victory by capturing all the posts. The forces were on high alert for quite some time which means absolutely restriction of leave unless in the case of any extreme exigency for blood relatives that too only for a minimum number of days.

You may also recollect the terrorist act at the Parliament and the forces were put on stand by for a long time. It’s easy to sit back at the comforts of your home and comment or view things, but in order to understand the ordeals and pressure, you need to be there. The media played a vital role in the Kargil war at the front, many movies came up after that and whom we wholly look upon the entertainers (Film stars) were all over the place in support.

The actual heroes never ever think about all this publicity but have that highest patriotic feeling to defend the nation at any cost. We should come together on this Kargil Vijay Diwas day to encourage, inspire and motivate youth to join the services to serve the nation. Hope the compulsory military service does happen soon. Respectful Salutes to all the Martyrs. Respectful salutes to the serving and the veterans.
