Ahead of Independence Day (August 15), the Indian Army intensified its security measures in Jammu and Kashmir's Bhaderwah region.
Army’s 4 Rashtriya Rifles is continuously aggressively patrolling operations across high-altitude meadows and vulnerable forested areas to thwart any potential threat. With the nation preparing to celebrate its 79th Independence Day, the Army has adopted a zero-tolerance approach toward any attempt to disrupt peace and security.
The patrolling teams, who have high-tech surveillance equipment and intelligence support, are keeping a close eye on sensitive areas to make sure that no one can get in or do anything illegal. The Indian Army's presence has been visibly strengthened around key locations, including routes leading to remote hamlets and strategic heights, as part of proactive domination and area sanitisation drills.
This year's celebration will also be the 12th time in a row that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken to the country from the Red Fort on Independence Day. This makes him the third Prime Minister to reach this milestone, after Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi.
