Away from their homes and families, CRPF jawans guarding the nation celebrated Raksha Bandhan at Srinagar airport in Jammu and Kashmir.

Despite being far away from their loved ones, the jawans of 35 BN Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) came together to honour the special bond between brothers and sisters.

The celebration was marked with the tying of rakhi threads, symbolizing the promise of protection and love between siblings. The jawans exchanged sweets and gifts, sharing in the joy of the festival even while being on duty.

Vishnu Dwiwedi, who is Commandant 35 BN CRPF at Srinagar Airport told ANI, “Today the nation is celebrating the sacred festival of Raksha Bandhan. Sisters tie the rakhi to their brothers who in turn vow to give them protection.”

“CRPF jawans and their families residing here are celebrating the festival here…On this occasion, we vow to guard our nation,” he added.

This gesture of camaraderie and unity among the jawans reflected their resilience and determination to serve and protect the nation, even in challenging circumstances. The celebration of Raksha Bandhan served as a reminder of the strong bonds that tie them together as a close-knit family, ready to support and stand by each other in times of need.

Priyanka Yadav told ANI that they have come here to tie rakhi to security personnel. “They (CRPF jawans) are away from their families. So we thought to tie rakhi to their wrists to give them happiness. We are enjoying.”

As they observed the festival, the jawans found solace in the companionship and camaraderie of their fellow soldiers, knowing that they were united in their dedication to safeguarding peace and security.

Raksha Bandhan, commonly known as Rakhi being celebrated today is a traditional Hindu festival dedicated to the love and bond between brothers and sisters.

On this day, sisters tie a rakhi around their brothers’ wrists. In return, brothers offer gifts as a symbol of love and care for their sisters.

Raksha Bandhan is a festival deeply rooted in Indian Culture and has been celebrated for centuries. Incidents of sisters tying rakhi around their brothers’ wrists for protection are mentioned in Hindu religious texts. (ANI)
