Guwahati, Dec 16: The 52nd Vijay Diwas was celebrated across the northeastern states, in which wreath-laying ceremonies and other events were held.
The Vijay Diwas were organised at the war memorials in Agartala, Shillong, Imphal, Aizawl, and other places.
The Bangladesh Assistant High Commissions in Guwahati and Agartala also organised discussions, cultural programmes, and a get-together on the occasion.
Paying his tribute to the Indian soldiers, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on X: “On this day in 1971, our forces inflicted irreversible damage on the nefarious designs of Pakistan and defeated them, thereby ensuring the creation of Bangladesh. On Vijay Diwas, I salute their bravery and resolve to protect Maa Bharati at any cost.”
India, with one of the world’s largest armies, achieved a historic victory by liberating Bangladesh, witnessing the surrender of 93,000 Pakistani troops and officers—the largest military surrender since World War II.
