He called the experience both emotional and reassuring, especially seeing the soldiers' eagerness to return to their posts so soon after sustaining injuries.

Dr Singh in a moving visit to Military Hospital Satwari on the outskirts of Jammu, met soldiers who were recently injured in action along the International Border and LoC.

Many of them, despite suffering serious injuries, expressed a fierce determination to return to the frontlines. According to the Minister, the morale of these soldiers was not just high—it was inspiring.

Dr Singh shared that the soldiers, most of whom belonged to the Indian Army and the Border Security Force (BSF), conveyed a heartfelt message for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"They said they are ready to go back and fight the enemy till the last breath," he told reporters after the visit.

"Their courage and spirit are truly humbling. The nation is eternally indebted to them."

What stood out during the visit, the Minister said, was the unwavering willpower of the jawans, many of whom have already begun recovering and are preparing to return to duty.

Their injuries were varied, but their resolve was common: to serve the country without hesitation, he added.

Dr. Singh also praised the role of the medical team at the hospital, led by Brigadier Dr. Fayaz Ahmad.
