<p>"It is the day to remember every jawan who maintains law and peace in Jammu and Kashmir &amp; fights against terrorism. Jawans on duty in Naxal-affected areas are doing a great service. It's also due to them that no.of Naxal affected districts are going down and youth is coming to the mainstream. It is the result of your alertness that the elements which create unrest are unsuccessful in their attempts. The attempts to create fear &amp; insecurity in the nation were foiled by you. The peace prevalent in the nation is possible only due to your services," said PM Modi.</p>
