Prime Minister Narendra Modi with soldiers of the Indian Army (Narendra Modi/Twitter)
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is celebrating Diwali with Indian Army soldiers in North Kashmir's Bandipora district.
The Prime Minister – known for celebrating this day in the remotest locations of the country – is celebrating the occasion with the 15 Corps troops in the Gurez Sector.
Last year, he celebrated the occasion with Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel in Uttarakhand along the Indo-China border. He has also spent time with forces along the Punjab border and on the Siachen Glacier.
Earlier today, Modi took to Twitter to extend his Diwali wishes through a picture signed by him. It was captioned in Hindi, which translated reads as, "Warm greetings to the countrymen on the auspicious festival of Diwali".

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
