Back to Visit to Almora

We had visited Almora on February 20, 2001, which is the flag raising day of the Battalion. The days surrounding were full of activities. 

There was a special memorial service held to remember those who had fallen during the battles fought during Operation Rakshak, and Operation Vijay (Kargil)
