Select Citywalk, one of the premier shopping centres in Delhi has decided to pay tribute to Armed Forces of India with an astute sense of patriotism and belongingness. The government of India has been commemorating Kargil Diwas every year on 26th of July so that the countrymen do not forget the bravado, courage and supreme sacrifices made by our gallant soldiers in defending the icy heights of Kargil in 1999.
This year Select Citywalk too has joined celebration by paying homage to Kargil Diwas with the tagline “Kargil…Lest We Forget”. The shopping center through this initiative plans to commemorate and remember the supreme sacrifice of all courageous sons.
As part of the tribute the mall will be setting up exhibitions of war equipment, rare pictures of the war, war movies, Art on Army vehicles and Air Force fighter plane models on display, Newspaper archives, photo-ops and more from the 24th July onwards. A special stall for Army War Widows will also be a part of the tribute.
On July 25, 6 pm onwards the shopping centre will feature the Indian Air Force band display that will depict the life of a soldier through music. A large number of NCC cadets are also expected to join the display.
On the final day of the Kargil Diwas celebrations, July 26, the Indian army band will be at display and the families of martyrs with the Cadets of the National Cadet Corps will be honoured.
