Dehradun, 24 Apr: The soldiers of the Army are tirelessly engaged in clearing snow-covered paths with utmost dedication and enthusiasm for the sacred Shri Hemkunt Sahib Yatra, commencing on 25 May. Despite harsh conditions and adverse weather, the soldiers are working relentlessly to ensure that pilgrims face no inconvenience in reaching this holy shrine.

Our faith and beliefs inspire us to undertake journeys to sacred sites, and it is the soldiers of our army who ensure our safety at every step.
For the Shri Hemkunt Sahib Yatra, the army personnel, along with the trust’s sewadars, work tirelessly for weeks. Their primary objective is to clear snow-laden paths, secure the travel route, and provide all necessary facilities for the pilgrims. This work is a testament to their indomitable courage, discipline, and patriotism. Be it natural calamities or other challenges, our army stands firm in every situation to ensure that pilgrims can enjoy a safe and seamless journey.
The dedication of our army is not merely a duty but a symbol of their profound loyalty to the nation and their love for its citizens. The Shri Hemkunt Sahib Yatra has been a centre of spiritual peace and faith for millions of devotees every year, and the army’s role in making this pilgrimage successful is invaluable.
