Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh inaugurates renovated Rezang La Memorial at Chushul in Ladakh

Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh inaugurated the renovated Rezang La Memorial at a solemn ceremony at Chushul in Ladakh on November 18, 2021. Memorial is a tribute to our valiant Armed Forces & a symbol of our preparedness to protect the country’s integrity.

The Memorial was constructed in 1963 in the Chushul plains, at an altitude of over 15,000 feet, right at the India-China border to honour the troops of Charlie Company of 13 KUMAON Regiment, who on November 18, 1962, had defended Rezang La and the surrounding areas located at over 16,500 feet on the Kailash Ranges in Eastern Ladakh.

The renovation of the Memorial commenced in mid-July and the complex was ready within three months for inauguration on the 59th anniversary of the battle.

Background Rezang La

It was a saga of unparalleled bravery as Major Shaitan Singh and 113 soldiers had made the supreme sacrifice, fighting one of the world’s rarest ‘last man, last bullet’ battles.

The entire project of Rezang La Memorial was spearheaded by the troops of Chushul Brigade, the very same formation under which the Armed Forces had defended the entire Ladakh sector in 1962.
