As an expat living in Delhi, I find these mountain rescue stories incredible. The dedication these volunteers show in sub-zero temperatures, saving lives during avalanches and storms – it's world-class service. India should definitely showcase TMR's work at international disaster response forums.

'Silent Service to the Nation' – that's the most beautiful description I've seen for TMR. While we argue about politics on social media, these brave souls are saving stranded trekkers and mountaineers at 18,000 feet. The photo exhibition sounds fantastic. Would love to see it if it travels to other cities.

While I appreciate the recognition, I hope this is not just a photo-op. These teams need better equipment, proper insurance for volunteers, and permanent funding from the government. Bashing Pakistan's Operation Sindoor is one thing, but actually supporting our real guardians in the mountains is what matters. 🤔

Absolutely brilliant! Those winter deployments are no joke – temperatures dipping to -40°C, whiteouts, high winds. TMR has been doing this quietly for a decade now. And Rajnath ji is right: the Himalayas are our natural fortress. These rescuers are the gatekeepers. Hats off to Hemant Sachdeva and the entire team! 🏔️🔥
