Srinagar, 27 Aug 2021. A ‘Run for Fun’ was organized on 27 Aug 2021 under the
aegis of Fire and Fury Corps at Leh as part of Swarnim Vijay Varsh celebrations to
commemorate India's victory in the 1971 War with Pakistan. Mrs Rama Menon, Zonal
President AWWA, Fire and Fury Corps, flagged off the Run from Colonel Sonam
Wangchuk Stadium and the run concluded at Rinchen Auditorium. It was befitting that
both these venues are named after gallantry award winners from Ladakh.
Besides army personnel, 300 participants, including NCC Cadets, School
children and local runners, participated in the event. The enthusiasm of the participants,
especially, the youth, made this event a real celebration of the nation’s military victories.
