Seeing the students lighting diyas in Udhampur is so moving. It's important our younger generation understands the price of our peace. Rest in peace, bravehearts. Om Shanti.

This is a tragic loss. While we honour their sacrifice, we must also ask tough questions. The condition of roads in border areas like Doda is often poor. Are we doing enough to ensure the safety of our troops during transit? Better infrastructure is a necessity, not a luxury.

The image of the public walking alongside the vehicle with the flag is powerful. It shows the deep respect ordinary Indians have for the armed forces. My thoughts are with the injured soldiers for a speedy recovery.

So young, and from so many different parts of the country. Sowar Jobanjeet Singh, Sepoy Samiran Sing... each name represents a family shattered. We must support the families left behind. Jai Hind.

Salute to these heroes. They face the enemy and the elements every day. The weather in Jammu & Kashmir can be brutal. Praying for the souls of the departed and strength for their families. 🙏
