Foundation of India, passion of the local population and support of the Indian Army.
The Flag Mast has been installed in the pristine surroundings of Keran village, on the
banks of Kishan Ganga river along the Line of Control. It is indeed a proud moment for
the people of Keran which is one of the closest villages to the Line of Control & is also
the custodian of the remotest post office of India The national flag was hoisted by the people of Keran in presence of
Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi, AVSM, GOC-IN-C Northern Army Command and Lt Gen
ADS Aujla, YSM, SM, VSM, GOC HQ 15 Corps. On the occasion a cultural programme
was also org by the school children which charged the atmosphere with a spirit of
patriotism. The Rashtriya Salute by the Ceremonial Guards of Indian Army, BSF and J&K Police was a befitting display of conjoined effort of security forces in Kashmir to reach out to the farthest village along the Line of Control.This awe inspiring feat by the people of Kashmir in the serene locales of Keran
(Kupwara) symbolizes the nationalist spirit of the people of North Kashmir. The
imposing tricolor on the bank of Kishan Ganga would surely be a landmark worth
visiting for tourists & travellers from all over the country arriving in the Kashmir valley.
