Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting the Kargil War Memorial to honor the 545 soldiers who died in the Kargil War. He will arrive around 9:20 am to pay his respects to these heroes. After that, he will talk to war widows and launch the Shinkun La Tunnel Project online.
July 26 is a special day for Indians as it marks 25 years since the Kargil victory. PM Modi wants to remember the soldiers who defended the country and start the new tunnel project, which will help improve travel to Leh, especially in bad weather.
The Shinkun La Tunnel, a 4.1 km long tunnel at a high altitude, will be the world's highest. It will help the military and boost development in Ladakh.
