- The Tyag Chakra at the National War Memorial comprises 16 granite walls bearing names of military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice since India's Independence. The six newly honoured personnel represent both the Indian Army and Indian Air Force, reflecting the multi-service nature of the operation.
