Last year, PM Modi celebrated the festival with soldiers in Kargil and the previous year in Nowshera, Jammu and Kashmir.

Earlier, in another post on X, he had conveyed Diwali greetings to all. “Wishing everyone a Happy Diwali! May this special festival bring joy, prosperity and wonderful health to everyone’s lives,” PM Modi wrote.
