In order to honor the little boy, the paramilitary unit shared his video through the official Twitter handle, just a day after Diwali during which PM Modi urged all citizens to light a lamp to salute the soldiers who guard the national borders along with other frontline workers.

PM Modi, this year celebrated his Diwali with the soldiers posted on the western front, in continuing his tradition of celebrating the festival of light with the armed forces of the country.

Upon becoming the PM, he spent his first Diwali in the office with soldiers at Siachen, the world's highest battlefield. He reportedly spent Diwalis in a similar manner when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat.

Meanwhile, Ladakh this year has seen a lot of conflict with the neighboring state china, over the border dispute, and has even led to bloodshed.
