While I appreciate the effort, I wonder if such rallies could also focus on local issues in border areas? Maybe interact with villagers along the route to understand their challenges better. Still, kudos to the team for this tough journey!

While celebrating this achievement, let's not forget the daily sacrifices of our jawans in tough border areas. This rally is symbolic, but their 24/7 vigil is what truly keeps us safe. Salute to all forces! 🙏
