Veterans of 1971 Indo-Pak War to visit Mysuru, Kodagu

November 8, 2024

Mysuru: A group of about 80 veterans from the Indian Armed Forces, including personnel from the Army, Navy and Air Force, will be visiting Mysuru from Nov.  12 to 15, accompanied by their spouses.

The Army Officers in this group were commissioned just 20 days before the Indo-Pak War of 1971 and played a crucial role as some of the youngest officers sent into battle during the conflict.

During their visit, the veterans will explore several historic sites in Mysuru and Srirangapatna. A key highlight of the trip will be an interaction with Mysuru-Kodagu MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar.

This will offer the veterans a unique opportunity to engage with the region’s cultural and political heritage. After their stay in Mysuru, many veterans will extend their trip with an additional three-day visit to Kodagu.

While in the district, they will tour a coffee estate near Suntikoppa and also meet Air Marshal (Retd.) Nanda Cariappa, among other scheduled programmes.
