Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to soldiers and their sacrifices as he spent Diwali with soldiers at Longewala in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer. Spending Diwali with soldiers is a tradition that PM Modi has followed every year since he came to power in 2014. PM Modi's visit also comes a day after eleven people including five soldiers were killed in ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops in several areas in north Jammu and Kashmir.
