While the celebration is nice, I hope such events are followed by concrete actions for the welfare of our troops. Better equipment, timely leaves, and housing facilities are what they truly need. The respect should be year-round, not just on festivals.

Good to see events in Silchar getting coverage. The North-East is an integral part of India and such celebrations strengthen that bond. Our jawans stationed in remote areas deserve all the joy and recognition. Bura na mano, Holi hai!

The essence of Holi is so beautifully captured here – triumph of good, unity, and joy. My father served in the army, and I know how much these small moments of celebration mean to them and their families. Heartfelt greetings to all.
