A state-level function was organised by the Haryana government here on Saturday as part of three-day nationwide 'Prakram Parv' to mark the second anniversary of the 2016 'surgical strikes'.
At the event, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar lauded the role of soldiers in safeguarding the frontiers of the country "so that we can live peacefully".
Describing Haryana as the land of the brave, he said the state covers 1.3 per cent of the total geographical area of the country "but 10 to 11 per cent of the soldiers in the Army belong to Haryana, which is a matter of pride".
"Our youth join the Army to serve, and sacrifice their lives for the sake of nation," Khattar said.
The chief minister said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the morale of Indian Army is constantly increasing."
