Prime minister Narendra Modi on the auspicious occasion of Diwali on Sunday met jawans of the Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Indian Army and Dogra Scouts in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh.
“Spent time with our courageous @ITBP_official & Army Jawans at Sumdo, Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh. Jai Jawan! Jai Hind!,” Prime Minister Modi tweeted.
“Made unscheduled stop at Chango village, close to Somdu, to wish people on Diwali. Was deeply touched by the impromptu reception & their joy,” he added.
Showering his praise on the armed forces guarding the nation, Prime Minister Modi earlier today dedicated this year’s Diwali to the jawans.
