Kargil Vijay Diwas: President's Drass Visit Cancelled Due To Bad Weather

Kargil Vijay Diwas: It is for the second time in three years that President Ram Nath Kovind could not fly to Drass for the celebrations

Bad weather on Monday forced the cancellation of President Ram Nath Kovind's visit to Drass in Ladakh to pay homage to martyrs on the 22nd anniversary of the Kargil Vijay Diwas, officials said in Srinagar. It is for the second time in three years that the President could not fly to Drass for the Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations. Officials said the President's flight could not take off to Drass due to bad weather. In 2019, bad weather had prevented Kovind from visiting Drass and instead, he paid tributes by laying a wreath at a war memorial at the Army's 15 Corps headquarters in Badamibagh in Srinagar.
