Jammu, 02 September 2025:
Lauding the professionalism and humanitarian commitment of the Indian Army, Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, Media Incharge, J&K BJP, said that during the recent spell of incessant rains, cloudbursts, and flash floods, that wreaked havoc in parts of Jammu, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh, the Western Command of Indian Army rescued more than 5,000 civilians and distributed tens of tonnes of relief material to the affected population under the extensive Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations.
Dr. Pardeep Mahotra said this heroic effort once again underlined the Army’s unmatched role as a savior of lives and guardian of the nation, not just in war but equally in times of peace and calamity.
“The Indian Army has proved to be the best in Operation Sindoor, Operation Mahadev and now played paramount role in saving the lives of people in the time of natural disaster. Our soldiers are the real heroes and the role models for us all, which need to be applauded and to be followed by our youth,” said Dr. Pardeep.
Dr. Pardeep emphasized that the Army’s timely action in restoring vital links, rebuilding washed-out bridges, and carrying out large-scale rescue and relief operations demonstrated its ability to rise to every challenge. “The dedication with which the Army coordinates with the civil administration and other agencies during such disasters shows its discipline, professionalism, and commitment to the people,” he said.
He added that the Army’s contribution in emergencies, whether natural calamities like earthquakes, floods, and avalanches or man-made crises, has always been extraordinary. From providing medical aid to ensuring food, shelter, and connectivity, the Army continues to serve as the first responder in the most difficult terrains and circumstances. Beyond these emergency roles, the Army has also played a vital part in nation-building by developing infrastructure in border and remote regions, ensuring better connectivity and security for citizens.
Dr. Pardeep underlined that these efforts of the Indian Army are further strengthened by the unwavering support and visionary policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. Under the Modi government, modernization of the armed forces, enhanced disaster management systems, and greater synergy between defense forces and civil administration have been prioritized. This has enabled the Army to perform its duties with even greater efficiency and preparedness.
“The Indian Army, fully supported by the Modi government, remains the pride of every Indian. Its service in defending borders, saving lives in disasters, and building the nation reflects its motto of selfless dedication. The BJP salutes the unparalleled sacrifices and contributions of our soldiers,” Dr. Pardeep said.
