It is our armed forces zeal to serve the country that even extreme weather conditions did not deter them from doing the duties. The Indian Army, the Indian Air Force, the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard are widely known for their discipline and bravery.
In a recent such incident, a photo of a jawan standing in a pool of water is doing the rounds. The jawan can be seen standing in a flood-hit area with a rifle in his hand. Major Surinder Poonia posted a photo of the jawan and wrote, ” “Whatever, Wherever, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow & Forever. You will find me here- Indian Soldier. Jai Hind”.
Soon, the photo went viral and many took to Twitter commending the jawan for unconditional patriotic values and serving the country in the adverse weather conditions. They saluted the commitment of the soldier. This is not the first time when a photo of jawan serving the nation has caught everybody’s attention. Last year, a video of the jawan doing his duty in the sweltering weather also went viral.
