Pune Honors Ladakh's Contributions at Ladakh Festival

The Ladakh Festival was held in Pune, organized by a social group called Sarhad.

The festival included giving awards called the Kargil Gaurav National Awards to people who have done great things.

The leader of Ladakh, Kavinder Gupta, spoke about how Pune has been a special place for students from Ladakh, Kargil, and Jammu and Kashmir.

He said Pune has not only taught these students but also made them feel like part of the city.

The awards were given to people from different fields like banking, the military, journalism, and social work.

The event was a way to show how Pune and Ladakh are connected beyond just geography, and to honor the bravery and support of people from border areas during the Kargil War.
