Chief Minister pays tribute to the dedication and commitment of soldiers serving the nation
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami stopped his convoy after spotting Army personnel in the Garhi Cantt area while returning to his official residence on the occasion of Diwali. He interacted warmly with the soldiers, extended his heartfelt festive greetings and shared the joy of the occasion by offering them sweets.
During the interaction, the Chief Minister enquired about the well-being of the personnel and acknowledged their service to the nation.
Dhami said that India's brave soldiers discharge their duties with utmost dedication, commitment and indomitable courage, working round the clock to protect the country's borders and safeguard its unity and integrity. Their constant vigilance and unwavering resolve, he said, enable citizens to celebrate festivals in a safe environment.
He said the sacrifice, discipline and sense of duty demonstrated by soldiers serving the nation were a source of inspiration for every citizen.
The Chief Minister observed that while people across the country celebrate festivals with their families, many soldiers remain deployed away from their homes and loved ones to ensure the nation's security. Their commitment, he said, was a matter of pride and respect for everyone.
Paying tribute to the valour, courage and dedication of the soldiers, Dhami said it was the responsibility of every citizen to respect them and remain grateful for their service. He wished them good health, happiness and safety, and saluted their commitment to serving the nation.
The Chief Minister also described Uttarakhand as a land of valour, pointing out that the state has a proud tradition of young people joining the Indian Army. He said every citizen of Uttarakhand takes pride in its soldiers and their families.
The courage, sacrifice and patriotism of the armed forces, he added, would continue to inspire future generations to serve the country.
