Tribute to army

Sir — On Kargil Vijay Diwas (July 26), the country must pay tribute to the brave heroes of the Kargil war who laid down their lives so that the rest of the country could be safe and secure. In the conflict, the Indian Army lost 490  jawans besides many others were injured too. The Indian Government should at best ensure that another Kargil-like situation does not arise at all.

Further, on this day, it would be pertinent to remember Saint Augustine’s quote which said,  “The purpose of all war is peace. Our flag does not fly because of wind moves it, it flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.”
