Srinagar, June 5 (UNI) In a soul-stirring ceremony marked by immaculate military precision on Thursday, 326 Agniveers—proud sons of the soil from Jammu & Kashmir—marched into the

annals of military tradition during the Attestation and Passing Out Parade at the prestigious

Jammu & Kashmir Light Infantry Regimental Centre in Srinagar.







Presiding over the momentous occasion was Lt Gen Manish Erry, Colonel of The JAK LI Regiment, who reviewed the parade with a discerning eye and pride befitting the nation’s top Military Leadership.



The occasion was further graced by an august gathering of senior military and civil dignitaries, alongside the teary eyed but proud parents of the newly minted soldiers, Srinagar based defence spokesman said.



Addressing the Agniveers, the Colonel of the Regiment, lauded their resolve and remarked, “Your commitment is not just to the uniform, but to the very idea of India. You are Jammu and Kashmir’s finest sons; now India’s mightiest shields.”



He extended his compliments to the instructors and expressed his satisfaction towards appreciable training standards achieved by Agniveers amidst the intense training regimen.



The proud parents were also presented with ‘Gaurav Padak’ for their selfless contribution of their wards towards the Service of the Nation.



As the final salute echoed and the Tricolour fluttered high against the valley’s breeze, the message was unmistakable; J&K’s youth are not just walking into the future, they are marching at the double, with rifles in hand and the Nation in heart, the spokesman said.
