In a moving visit to Military Hospital Satwari on the outskirts of Jammu today, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology; Earth Sciences and Minister of State for PMO, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr. Jitendra Singh met soldiers who were recently injured in action along the International Border and LoC.
Many of them, despite suffering serious injuries, expressed a fierce determination to return to the frontlines. According to the Minister, the morale of these soldiers was not just high—it was inspiring.
Dr. Jitendra Singh shared that the soldiers, most of whom belonged to the Indian Army and the Border Security Force (BSF), conveyed a heartfelt message for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “They said they are ready to go back and fight the enemy till the last breath,” he told reporters after the visit. “Their courage and spirit is truly humbling. The nation is eternally indebted to them.”
What stood out during the visit, the Minister said, was the unwavering willpower of the jawans, many of whom have already begun recovering and are preparing to return to duty. Their injuries were varied, but their resolve was common: to serve the country without hesitation, he added.
The Minister also gave a fruit basket to each of the injured.
Dr. Jitendra Singh also praised the role of the medical team at the hospital, led by Brigadier Dr. Fayaz Ahmad. “The precision and promptness with which the team acted saved several lives. Their efforts ensured that many of these bravehearts are now even fit to get back to the field,” he said.
The Minister emphasised that the medical personnel not only treated physical wounds but also uplifted the soldiers’ morale, helping them regain strength and confidence.
Reaffirming the government’s commitment to the armed forces, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, the episode is a reminder of the grit and determination that drives India’s uniformed personnel. He called the experience both emotional and reassuring, especially seeing the soldiers’ eagerness to return to their posts so soon after sustaining injuries.
The visit comes at a time of heightened vigilance along border areas, and Dr. Jitendra Singh’s remarks are likely to resonate with a public that continues to stand in solidarity with the armed forces.
As the soldiers recover and prepare to return, the message from the Military Hospital in Jammu is loud and clear: India’s defenders remain undeterred.
