New Delhi: The UPA Government has big plans for celebrating Vijay Diwas to commemorate India's victory in the 1971 War.
It was on this day in 1971 that the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force and the para-military forces achieved a historic victory over Pakistan.
The multi-pronged swift operation executed by the Indian Armed Forces was executed with great valour, which led to the formation of Bangladesh.
The December 16 anniversary of the famous victory had, over the years, been reduced to a ritual.
A major military carnival will be held at India Gate in Delhi. Weapons used in the war will be displayed in an exhibition at the National Stadium.
Sixty veterans of Mukti Bahini, who fought with Indian forces for the liberation of Bangladesh, will participate in celebrations at Kolkata.
In Kolkata, Vijay Diwas will be celebrated at the Eastern Command Headquarter between December 13 and 25 with due solemnity.
To commemorate the occasion, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Command, Lt Gen Arvind Sharma, will lay a wreath at the Vijay Smarak War Memorial at Fort William.
