The Border Security Force (BSF) organised a vibrant Holi Mela in Srinagar on March 24. The Holi mela was organised aiming at uplifting the spirits of personnel stationed away from their homes during the festival. Decorated with colors, traditional music, and dance, the event fostered a joyful atmosphere for BSF personnel. Jawans engaged in various activities, including colour play and camaraderie, enhancing the festive spirit. It was a gesture of appreciation and camaraderie by BSF towards its dedicated personnel. Talking to ANI, a BSF women soldier said, “We have come together here to celebrate Holi. We are away from home but still, this is like our own family only and we love celebrating Holi like this. But just because we are celebrating here that doesn’t mean we are neglecting our duty.” A tourist said, “We are very glad to celebrate Holi with the BSF soldiers. They protect our borders. So today we feel joy because of getting the opportunity to celebrate with them.”
