On Eid, Indian forces spread joy and goodwill from Kashmir to Bangladesh border

<h2>
<strong>From the Line of Control (LoC) in the north to the Indo-Bangladesh border in the east, the Indian armed forces exchanged sweets and celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr with their counterparts from Pakistan and Bangladesh on Friday. The Indian soldiers also celebrated the festival with the locals in several parts of Jammu and Kashmir, distributing gifts to the residents in towns and remote villages as the festivities remain low key due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in the country.  </strong></h2>
