Te soldiers of the Indian army, considered one of the best armies in the world, have always been present at the borders to defend the country while helping in internal emergency situations as a reliable and strong force. The entire country saluted the indomitable strength and valour of our soldiers who are dedicated to the solidarity and security of the country. “We are proud of each one of our soldiers.”
