A contingent of the Dogra Regiment Centre sounded the last post and a two-minute silence was observed for the peace of the departed souls.

The officers of the Dogra Regimental Centers paid tributes to the martyrs by laying a wreath at the regimental War Memorial yesterday.

Vijay Diwas (Victory Day) is commemorated every 16th December in India in memory of India's military victory over Pakistan in 1971.

The end of the war also resulted in the unilateral surrender of the Pakistan Army and the subsequent formation of the independent nation of Bangladesh.
