On Infantry Day, marked on October 27, the Indian Army commemorated the valour and sacrifice of its infantry soldiers with a wreath-laying ceremony at the National War Memorial in New Delhi, led by Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi. This significant day honors the first deployment of Indian troops at Srinagar airport in 1947, which successfully thwarted a Pakistan-backed invasion. Celebrations included the Field Marshal KM Cariappa Memorial Seminar, the Shauryaveer Run, and a ceremony for Veer Naris, underscoring the enduring legacy of sacrifice and dedication within the ranks. The observance of Infantry Day not only pays tribute to past valor but also reinforces the importance of the Indian Army’s role in safeguarding national sovereignty amid ongoing geopolitical challenges.
