This time will be the second year PM Modi is celebrating Diwali with jawans in the district. Ahead of PM Modi's visit, Army Chief General MM Naravane reported in Jammu and visited front areas to evaluate safety.
The border districts of Poonch and Rajouri have seen an outbreak of violence, and 11 soldiers have been hit over the last three weeks.
The army has been employed in one of the longest anti-terrorism operations in the Poonch-Rajouri forests area in the last 24 days. Nine jawans have lost their lives in the operation. But, there is no victory against terrorists lurking in the area.
In 2019, PM Modi celebrated Diwali at an Army division in Rajouri. This time he is celebrating the festival with jawans in Nowshera, adjacent to the Line of Control.
