Infantry Day Wreath Laying Ceremony On 27 Oct 2023
- Infantry Day is celebrated every year to commemorate the landing of the 1st Battalion of the SIKH Regiment at Srinagar airfield on 27 Oct 1947 to protect the people of Jammu & Kashmir from the nefarious designs of Pakistani Kabaili Raiders aided by the Pakistan Army. This gallant action resulted in foiling of Pakistan’s plans to occupy Jammu & Kashmir. Infantry is also known as the “Queen of the Battle” and it’s history is as old as the first human war.
- The infantry has played a crucial role in the army in protecting the sovereignty of the nation since independence. Be it the war of 1962 with China or of 1947-48 with Pakistan, be it the war of 1965, 71 or 1999 Kargil conflict. The contribution of infantry in triumphing these historical wars is unparallel.
- Apart from these wars, the Counter Insurgency/ Counter Terrorist Operations in North and Northeast, Op BLUE STAR and Op RAKSHAK in Punjab, Op PAWAN in Sri Lanka and recently Op SNOW LEOPARD in Eastern Ladakh have been the continuous witness of the sheer professionalism and commitment of infantry which eventually led to success of these operations.
