Amid a thick blanket of snow and temperatures dropping below -5 degrees Celsius, Indian Army personnel are conducting patrolling operations in the upper reaches of Jammu and Kashmir's (J-K) Doda district.
The Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir was seen patrolling at the Army's last post at an altitude of 7,200 feet amid heavy snowfall for the security of the country on the Eve of the 74th Republic Day on Wednesday.
"Challenges increased with continuous snowfall, but surveillance is tighter than ever. Our happiness lies in prosperous celebrations across the country," said an Indian Army soldier.
