Amid raging floodwaters, a mother safely gave birth with the timely help of the Indian Army near Bhavla Highway, Ahmedabad. When hope seemed lost, our soldiers became lifesavers in the truest sense.
Salute to the Indian Army protecting lives, serving the nation.

Building classrooms. Inspiring dreams. Empowering generations.

The Indian Army's Dagger Division, in collaboration with IAHV & BNY, has upgraded the Government Boys Middle School at Khabna in Uri — delivering modern classrooms and better facilities to children in this border region.

From remote villages to every section of society, our brave soldiers are not just securing borders but also securing futures through quality education.

When the Army builds schools, the youth of Jammu & Kashmir rise stronger, more skilled, and full of hope. Better schools = Brighter Bharat.

���ेश की रक्षा करने वाला सैनिक जब अपने ही बेटे के लिए न्याय मांगता है और उसे भी न्याय व्यवस्था के दरवाजे खटखटाने पड़ें, तो यह पूरे सिस्टम के लिए चिंता का विषय है।

परिवार के अनुसार, कोर्ट के आदेश के बावजू�� FIR दर्ज नहीं हो रही और संबंधित अधिकारियों से शिकायत के बाद भी समाधान नहीं मिला। यदि यह तथ्य सही हैं, तो इसकी स्वतंत्र जांच होनी चाहिए और जिम्मेदार अधिकारियों की जवाबदेही तय होनी चाहिए।

न्याय में देरी, न्याय से वंचित करने के समान है। सरकार और प्रशासन से अपेक्षा है कि इस मामले में तत्काल हस्तक्षेप कर कानून के अनुसार कार्रवाई सुनिश्चित करें।

Comparing only range and mobility gives an incomplete picture. The M777’s strength is ultra-light design and high-altitude air mobility while modern artillery effectiveness depends on the entire battlefield system not just one gun.

[Ramandeep Bajwa @Ramandeep_Bajwa]

Pakistan military decides and procures faster than their Indian counterparts. During Operation Sindoor Indian army deployed the towed M777 lightweight 155mm/39-caliber howitzers to target locations across LoC.
While on the opposite side Pakistan had the SH-15 self propelled 155mm/52-caliber howitzer which is not only more manouvreble in mountainous terrain due to its compactness, thanks to the wheeled truck on which it is mounted, and faster to get into and out of a firing position than M777 but also outranges it.
Being towed, the M777 needs to be towed by a truck to safety to escape counter battery fire.
This takes crucial minutes while the SH-15 takes seconds as it is mounted on a wheeled 6x6 truck.
In mountainous terrain, the FH-15 outclasses every artillery system in service with Indian army. It can go where no Indian system can go and deinduct faster.

Ignoring a court order is not a minor lapse it is a serious violation. Chamoli Police must explain the delay in FIR registration immediately. @ChamoliDm @DMBageshwarUK @Dig_raw21 @pushkardhami @uttarakhandcops @UKGovt @adgpi @SubodhUniyal1 @anil_baluni @chamolipolice

[Kumaon Jagran @KumaonJagran]

When tragedies like these happen, high-level inquiries are announced, committees are formed and assurances are made. Headlines are created. Then time passes.

A year later, Indian Army soldier Dinesh Chandra Joshi is still fighting not only on the border, but for answers after losing his 1.5-year-old son, Shubhanshu, who allegedly did not receive timely medical care despite being taken from one hospital to another.

The pain of losing a child is one battle. Spending the next year struggling for justice is another.

If a court has directed that an FIR be registered, the family deserves to know why they are still waiting.

No soldier protecting the country’s borders should have to fight this hard for justice back home.

Colonel Navjot Singh Bal was a gifted soldier. He was awarded by Shaurya Chakra by the President of India. The Indian Army has lost a soldier by cancer. Navjot fought till the end. Hailing from a military family,

Col Bal was posted at the Northern Command’s Operation section when the 2016 surgical strikes were carried out. He had taken part in many high profile anti – terrorist operations. He was part of the team that had done surgical strike by entering PoK in 2016. Col Bal was awarded the Shaurya Chakra for an operation in the upper ranges of Kashmir’s Lolab Valley where he and his buddy chased a group of terrorists and shot dead two of them in close combat.He had also been part of a United Nations mission in Congo.

Col Bal is survived by his wife and two sons aged 8 and 4 years.

A lump on his right hand was diagnosed as a rare form of cancer in 2018, few months after he had taken the role of Commanding officer of 2 Para of Bengaluru, doctors said that his right hand has to be amputated in order to stop cancer spreading to other parts of his body. Within three months of amputation, Right handed Col. Navjot had learnt to fire from his left hand with same ease and with same dedication.

The parents of late Col. Bal were in Delhi when he died. Because of Covid lock down, his parents couldn't take flight to Bangalore. Col Navjot Singh Bal, a Shaurya Chakra awardee and former commanding officer of the 2 Para, passed away in Bengaluru at the age of 39.

Om Shanti 🙏

10 years back today Burhan Wani was killed by @adgpi. He was a self claimed freedom fighter. But the reality was something different. He had a bounty of 10 lakh rupees on his head. Radicalised the youth using social media platforms. Not a single bullet fired by him ever. Only involved in womanising. What followed his killing was rioting by the radicalised youth of kashmir leading to loss of life of innocent civilians. Hats off to our Indian Army for facing everything they did and normalising the situation in Kashmir.

इतिहास को एक जनरल या सेना पर दोष मढ़कर नहीं समझा जा सकता। हमारी सशस्त्र सेनाएँ संविधान के तहत अपने कर्तव्य का पालन करती हैं। राजनीतिक बहस अपनी जगह है, लेकिन सेना को बलि का बकरा बनाना उचित नहीं।

[Ashok @ashokkmrsingh]

As things come out today, Gen Sundarji carries the blame. Generals can’t take the excuse that they are following orders. Poor General Vaidya had no role as he was sidelined.

First Military laws make it mandatory for military officers to disobey illegal orders.

Second. In our constitution there are no provisions for political executive to give military orders. Political executive of civil govt only spells out political direction. It’s job of the military govt to issue military orders.

As told by Gen Sharma then DGMO, Indra sidelined Gen Vaidya to directly interact with Gen Sundarji. He was offered lollipop to be an Army Chief.

Op Blue Star was a blunder. Let us accept it. People suffered.
