Everybody is pooling in resources to do their bit for the soldiers fighting in Kargil. Generous contributions in the form of blood, food, clothes and money have been flowing in from all over the country in aid of the soldiers and their families. This time around, it's the film industry's turn. A cultural programme, Ai Watan Tere Liye, will be held on July 10 at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi Stadium to raise funds. Star celebs like Madhuri Dixit, Alka Yagnik, Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukherjee are expected to perform on the gala night. Pre-event ticket sale counters are being set up at the Army Services Golf Club, Defence Services Officers' Institute, and the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium. Proceeds will go to the Army Central Welfare Fund to help the families of soldiers who have laid down their lives. Buy as many tickets as you can for a good cause.
