Jammu, 8 August : Students of various Jammu schools celebrated the festival of defense with BSF Jawans on the international border in Jammu this morning.
This is the first Rakshabadhan festival after Operation Sindoor, in which our brave BSF Jawans gave a reply to Pakistan and, with their bravery, rescued our people, growing by Pakistan.
To mark the occasion, the students tied Rakhi to the BSF youth posted on the international border in Jammu.
Students said that our soldiers constantly protect people from anti -people and also protect our boundaries, and they are away from their families, therefore, on these occasions, society comes forward and celebrates these festivals with them.
A BSF soldier said, “It was good to live here. People come to BSF from all over India, and many are unable to visit their homes, so these children come here to tie their Rakhis. It is very happy for everyone … In Operation vermilion, we demonstrate their brave fight and victory across the country.”
Earlier today, eleven representative women of Soan Chiraiya Self Help Group and Gulabo Mata Self Help Group located in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, handed over a packet of rakhis to Colonel Vinod Kumar to distribute the soldiers posted on various borders of the country through Indian posts.
These women work for their livelihood through various organizations under Dandayal Ajivika Yojana (Urban).
Addressing members of self-help groups on the occasion, Colonel Vinod Kumar assured them that all the rakhis would be safely distributed to the soldiers, making them feel more emotionally strong.
In addition, in a similar effort, 53,000 women of Anganwadis of Gujarat prepared and sent 3.5 lakh harsh to the soldiers protecting the country’s borders.
A press release from the Gujarat CMO stated that these Rakhis symbolize the bondage of holy brothers and sisters, who were part of a heartfelt tribute to the brave personnel working away from their families.
In Gandhinagar, “Raksha Sutra Kalash” was presented to the armed forces in the presence of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. This unique initiative made Gujarat a place in the India Book of Records.
Representatives of the organization gave official certificates and medals to the Chief Minister in the recognition of this collective effort. (AI)
