New Delhi, July 25: A bike rally was organised under the aegis of Headquarters Uniform Force to commemorate Kargil Vijay Diwas, celebrating the decisive victory in the 1999 Kargil War. The 'All Women Motorbike Rally,' planned from Leh to Kargil, traversed the challenging terrain of Ladakh, including Khardung La and Umling La, the world's two highest motorable passes.

This rally was a fitting tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Indian soldier and a salute to Nari Shakti, breaking stereotypes of male dominance in adventure activities and showcasing the unparalleled determination, fearlessness, valour, commitment, and devotion of women in the Indian Armed Forces. The rally team comprised 25 experienced women riders from across India, mainly military spouses, serving women officers, and other ranks. The rally spanned 16 days, commencing at the Leh War Memorial and culminating at the Kargil War Memorial. Kargil Vijay Diwas 2024: PM Narendra Modi To Visit Ladakh’s Drass on July 26 To Mark 25th Anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas.
