Indian Army releases video song on 1st anniversary of Galwan clash
Sung by singer Hariharan, the song titled 'Galwan ke Veer' highlights the valour of the Indian soldiers guarding the Galwan and says the "heroes" had risen to the occasion when challenged on the mountains.
The Indian Army has released a video song on the first anniversary of the Galwan valley clash, in which they have paid a tribute to the Indian soldiers who fought the Chinese troops valiantly in Ladakh.
Noted singer Hariharan has lent his voice to the song titled 'Galwan ke Veer'. It highlights the valour of the Indian soldiers guarding the Galwan and says the "heroes" rose to the occasion when challenged on the mountains.
The nearly five-minute video song captures glimpses of the lives of the troops deployed in Ladakh, including their round-the-clock vigil, training and combat readiness to deal with any threat.
On this occasion, Leh-based 14 Corps known as 'Fire and Fury Corps' paid homage to Galwan heroes, a spokesperson of the Northern Command said, according to news agency PTI.
As many as 20 Indian Army personnel had laid down their lives in the clashes on June 15 last year in Galwan valley in Ladakh. In February 2021, China officially acknowledged that five Chinese military officers and soldiers were killed in the clashes with the Indian Army.
The Army last year built a memorial for the 'Gallants of Galwan' at Post 120 in eastern Ladakh. The memorial mentioned their heroic deeds under operation 'Snow Leopard' and the way they evicted the PLA troops from the area.
Both India and China completed the withdrawal of troops and weapons from the North and South banks of Pangong lake in February following a series of military and diplomatic talks. They are now engaged in talks to extend the disengagement process.
