On the first anniversary of the Galwan valley clashes, the Indian Army on Tuesday released a video song in a tribute to the Indian soldiers who fought valiantly in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with Chinese troops in the treacherous region of eastern Ladakh to defend India's territorial integrity.
Sung by popular singer Hariharan, the song titled 'Galwan ke Veer' highlights the valour of the Indian troops guarding the Galwan and some other inhospitable regions along the country's northern frontier and says the "heroes" had risen to the occasion when challenged on the mountains.
The nearly five-minute video captured glimpses of the lives of soldiers deployed along the ice-capped mountains of the high-altitude region including their round-the-clock vigil, training and combat readiness to deal with any threat.
On the first anniversary of the deadly clashes, the Army said the supreme sacrifice of the soldiers will be "eternally etched" in the memory of the nation.
Twenty Indian Army personnel laid down their lives in the clashes on June 15 last year in Galwan Valley, an incident that marked the most serious military conflicts between the two sides in decades.
