Vajra Corps was the first Corps raised in India after dependence in 1950 by Lt. Gen Kulwant Singh at Ambala. The Vajra Corps Headquarter was relocated at Jalandhar in 1951 and it proved its mettle on the strategic Western Front in various wars and achieved its objectives with elan and vigour. The Corps witnessed some of the fiercest battles in history during the 1965 War. From the graveyard of Patton Nagar to the ruins of Barki and Dograi, numerous acts of individual and collective bravery, gallant sacrifices and inspiring leadership ensured that Vajra Corps played a pivotal role in shaping the history of the Nation. The Vajra Corps is bestowed with the Theatre Honour of \u2018Punjab\u2019 and Battle Honours of \u2018Sehjra\u2019 and \u2018Dera Baba Nanak\u2019 and is proudly identified as the \u2018Defenders of Punjab\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jalandhar, 01 March (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211; The Vajra Corps celebrated its 68th Raising Day on 1st March 2017.
