Operation Vijay

                    OPERATION VIJAY

  

Operation Vijay was done by the Indian Army during the Kargil War to Recapture the occupied Peaks 🗻 in the Kargil Region, which was occupied by the Pakistan 🇵🇰 Army disguised as Terrorist to avoid direct international pressure. 

The Pakistan army came in the months of winter when according to the treaty those posts were leaved in the winters due to the bad conditions but Pakistan broke it and to avoid it they said those were terrorist not the regular infantry men. 

After the murder of our Soldiers the Republic of India ordered its armed forces to Recapture those peaks 🗻 and revenge our Fallen Soldiers.
