Ahead of Republic Day, names of Galwan braves get engraved on National War Memorial

After a delay of months, the names of Galwan braves who were killed in action amid the military tussle with China in Ladakh have finally made it to the National War Memorial in New Delhi ahead of Republic Day.

Earlier, names of 90 soldiers killed in various operations between October 2019 and September 2020 were cleared for being inscribed at the National War Memorial that was unveiled in February 2019.

Though the names were cleared, further procedural delays meant the names could not be put up before.
