Proud of your sacrifices: Young girl thanks CISF soldiers on Diwali

The letter written in using colored pens read, “Dear police officers and soldiers, we are all proud of your valor and sacrifices. Please don't ever think that you are alone. The entire country is with you and your families. Thank you so many soldiers for your dedication to our great nation. I am very proud of you.” It further added, “Happy Diwali to you.
