As we welcome the New Year, it’s important to take a moment to reflect on the incredible sacrifices made by our soldiers, especially those guarding the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu & Kashmir. The Indian Army, despite facing extreme weather conditions — from searing heat in the summer in Rajasthan to bone-chilling cold in the winter in Ladakh, J&K, Himachal, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim — remains steadfast in its duty. The rugged, treacherous terrain, often covered in snow or turning into a swamp during the monsoon, presents constant challenges, yet our soldiers persevere with unwavering commitment. They endure not just the harsh environment but also the constant threat of infiltration. These brave men are the guardians of our borders, ensuring our safety while being away from their families and loved ones. As we celebrate the New Year, let us remember their courage and selflessness, and offer them our gratitude, knowing that their vigilance allows us the freedom to embrace the coming year with hope and peace.
