“Take a moment to reflect on sacrifices made by soldiers”: Indian Army’s reminder on New Year

Srinagar: The Indian Army on Wednesday emphasised the importance of honouring and remembering the sacrifices made by Indian soldiers, particularly those posted along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir as they continue to uphold their duty with perseverance and unwavering dedication.

In a post on X, the Indian Army said that the armed forces remain steadfast and resolute in their mission to protect the nation’s borders., despite facing extreme weather conditions.

“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 and Kashmir,” the Army posted on X.

“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,” it said.

“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: Indian Army,” it added.

The Western Command of the Indian Army on Wednesday conveyed greetings and best wishes to all ranks, Veterans, Defence Civil employees and their families for New Year 2025.

Earlier on December 28, the Chinar Warriors corps of the Indian Army responded to a distress call from civil administration to evacuate tourists stranded in Gulmarg district of the territory.

The tourists and civilians were stranded due to unprecedented heavy snowfall in tourist destination Gulmarg and the subsequent closure of the road to Tanmarg. Responding to the call, the Army personnel evacuated 68 civilians, including 30 men and women each and eight children and provided meals, shelter and medication to 137 tourists.

In another incident, the Chinar Corps of Indian Army also evacuated a pregnant lady from Kulgam district amidst the heavy snowfall. The rescue team of security personnel reached the location and provided immediate needed medical assistance to the lady. The pregnant lady was shifted to the Government Hospital in Yaripora. (ANI)
