Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated the 'Parakram Parv' exhibition at the military station here to mark the second anniversary of the surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army across the LoC. Soon after his arrival at the Battle Axe Ground at the military station, the prime minister first signed a message paying homage to martyrs and took a round of the exhibition, showcasing combat capabilities of the Indian Army. The prime minister also paid floral tributes to martyrs at the Konark War Memorial here.


Modi was accompanied by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje.

The defence minister had announced last week that various events will be held from September 28 to 30 to commemorate the valour of soldiers.
