He also felicitated the families of all the jawans who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of the nation.

At the same time, Lt Gen Joshi also felicitated those who made a significant contribution to the nation's building through their efforts. The monument, which is in the midst of the beautiful and healthy surroundings of Gulmarg, adds four moons to the tourist attraction of the place. Tourists visiting the memorial do not forget to take pictures of the huge national flag as well as take selfies.
