Hindustan Times Noida
|December 30, 2024
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday termed India a "not very lucky" nation on the security front and urged soldiers to keep a sharp eye on internal and external foes who, he said, are always active.
MHOW:
He was addressing army personnel at the over two-hundred-year-old Mhow cantonment in the Indore district of Madhya Pradesh.
"Taking the security scenario into account, Bharat is not a very lucky country because our northern border and western border continuously face challenges," said Singh, who is on a two-day tour of the state.
Mhow cantonment, 25 km from Indore, is home to premier training institutes: Army War College (AWS), Military College of Telecommunication Engineering, and Infantry School, other than the Infantry Museum and Army Marksmanship Unit. Singh is visiting the facilities.
