It's a white Christmas for the soldiers guarding the borders at the Line of Control in Kashmir. In a video credited to the Indian Army, the soldiers can be seen singing "Jingle Bells" song amid the pristine snow-capped peaks on the holy festival today.
The soldiers gathered at a helipad this morning, where a Christmas tree and two snowmen provided a perfect setting to ring in the festival. Loud cheers and claps followed when a man dressed as Santa Claus entered the scene dancing to the song and adding the right warmth in the freezing temperature.
Watch the video here:
Yesterday, the Home Ministry had ordered "immediate" withdrawal of over 7,000 paramilitary troops from Kashmir after a security review. These troops were sent to the Kashmir Valley to maintain the law and order situation after the Centre scrapped the provisions of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
