The 101 Regulars woke to a frosty morning, with a crystalline layer of ice on their bikes, symbolizing their resilience. After refueling in Leh, they set off to Manali, crossing Sarchu, the gateway between Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. Their ascent to Baralacha La (16,040 ft) offered stunning views and marked the confluence of the Bhaga, Yunam, and Tsarap Chu rivers. Navigating challenging terrains, they reached Suraj Tal, a serene high-altitude lake. After a pitstop at Zingzing Bar, they continued past Darcha, crossing Himachalā€™s longest bridge, and followed the Bhaga River to Jispa. Skipping Rohtang Pass, they opted for the Rohtang Tunnel, a marvel of modern engineering, ensuring year-round connectivity. One lone rider paid homage at war memorials near Turtuk and Siachen Base Camp. In Manali, the Regulars reminisced about their IMA days, cherishing the bonds forged during their service. This journey from high-altitude passes to serene valleys strengthened their camaraderie and spirit. #25YearsofKargil #KargilWar #CaptainVikramBatra #KargilChronicles #IndianArmy #HeroicStories #MajorHarminderMultani #KargilHeroes #NationalInspiration #BraveryAndSacrifice #IndianHeroes ~PR.274~

Russia Denies Recruiting Indians for Ukraine War, Vows to Repatriate Stranded Soldiers | Details

Russia has officially denied claims that it has been recruiting Indian citizens to fight in the Ukraine war.

The embassy expressed condolences for the casualties among Indian soldiers and assured that Russia will honor all contractual obligations, including financial compensation. The situation has come under scrutiny as human traffickers lured Indians into military service with false promises, prompting a significant diplomatic response from both countries. #Russia #UkraineWar #IndianSoldiers #Repatriation #DiplomaticRelations #HumanTrafficking #RussianEmbassy #IndianNationals #MilitaryService #Moscow #NewDelhi #Casualties #ContractualObligations #InternationalAffairs #RepatriationEfforts
