What is the News?
Indian Army organized Walong Mela in continuation of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Battle of Walong.
What is the Battle of Walong?
Walong is one of India’s easternmost villages in Arunachal Pradesh.
In the 1962 India-China War, the Indian Army defended against China in all sectors except one — Arunachal Pradesh’s Walong.
The Battle of Walong was the only counterattack India could manage in the war.
The Indian Army held back the Chinese troops for 27 days, which forced the Chinese to deploy its reserve division from Tawang to Walong.
