Hyderabad: To mark the Swarnim Vijay Varsh of the victory of Indian Armed Forces in Indo-Pak war of 1971, the 26th Battalion, Madras Regiment is celebrating the golden jubilee of battle honour ‘Siramani’ and theatre honour ‘East Pakistan’ from December 11 to 14.

Commemorating the unit’s victory, a number of events are being organised at the Secunderabad Military Station. Apart from veterans, senior officials, serving personnel and their families, the unit has also invited the widows of the 1971 Indo-Pak martyrs.

The event commenced with the wreath laying ceremony to pay homage to the supreme sacrifices of the martyrs. Lt Gen VK Singh, PVSM (Retd), ex-Commanding Officer and erstwhile Colonel of the regiment released the first day cover.

Several officers and JCOs, who took part in the 1971 war shared the stories from the battlefield. The event also included the showcasing of Kalaripayattu, renowned martial art of Kerala, a war documentary and band display on the martial tunes played by the Pipe Band of the battalion.

Madras Regiment was assigned to press home an attack on the Siramani defenses on December 13, 1971. Despite the strong enemy resistance from fortified defenses, the battalion succeeded in capturing Siramani through sheer display of bravery and professionalism by gallant ‘Thambis’.

The unit has had outstanding laurels in its last 54 years with the reputation of being one of the most decorated battalions of the Indian Army to have earned one Ashoka Chakra, three Kirti Chakra, two Vir Chakra and four Sena Medal in various operations till date.
