Far away from their siblings on Raksha Bandhan, the security personnel posted on the frontiers got a taste of sibling love on Wednesday as local schoolgirls tied rakhis on their hands in a show of gratitude for the services they render to ensure civilian protection.
In the Akhnoor sector of Jammu and Kashmir, schoolgirls were pictured tying rakhis on the hands of Indian Army jawans. They were even seen applying ’tilak’ on their foreheads and offering prayers for them.
“They are here to protect us. So I felt it was my responsibility to acknowledge their services and do our sibling duty for them. We believe that the rakhis we tied on their hands will protect them,” a schoolgirl told ANI.
