In the future as well, I will keep on searching for reasons to visit the place."The actor further said, "It was lovely to see the camaraderie between the people and the Army. Received a lot of warmth and the performances by school students really made my heart smile. Whenever you meet the Army, you get to hear a lot of fascinating stories. I always look forward to hearing such stories. I also look forward to come to Kashmir again for the shoot of an upcoming film next year.""I got an opportunity to visit Uri and be a part of this wonderful cultural festival orgsed by the Indian Army today. The best thing is that me and Vicky are the first among actors to visit Uri. I am feeling very proud. I would like to thank the Indian Army for this wonderful opportunity. I am taking some very special memories with me from this place and I shall definitely tell everybody how beautiful the place is. I would also request people to visit Kashmir to witness its beauty," actress Sonal Chauhan also told .Varinder Vats, General Officer Commanding (GOC), Dagger Division, Major General, said, "A few days ago a festival was orgsed in Baramulla, then in Gulmarg.

Many people say that the talented youth of Uri remains deprived of a platform because all big events are orgsed in main cities."This time when we orgsed this festival, we reached out to our friends in the Indian film industry, and they very thankfully consented to come to Uri to motivate the youth. We saw very enthusiastic participation from the locals. The presence of two of our guests, Vicky Kaushal and Sonal Chauhan also inspired the younger generation."Vats further stated that after such robust participation of the youth, more such events will be orgsed in remote areas of Kashmir and the youngsters will continue to get inspired towards positivity.A visitor who had come to attend the festival said, "I am from Kashmir but I have visited Uri for the first time. Such events keep on happening in Srinagar but such a festival taking place in Uri is a big thing. Orgsing such events sends a very positive message to the youth of Kashmir that the Indian Army is providing them with a platform to showcase their talent and they are open to many opportunities and can achieve their goals."Another Uri resident said that more such programs should be orgsed so that the youth of Kashmir gets encouraged to showcase their talent.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
