Fauji Mela in Amritsar on Army Day
In an attempt to encourage civilians to join the defence service, the Panther Division of the Army is organising a two-day Fauji Mela (Army Fair) in Amritsar.
The fair which kicked-off on Saturday, has been organised on the occasion of the Army Day. January 15 is celebrated every year as Army Day since 1948 when Lieutenant General K. M. Cariappa became the first Indian Commander- in- Chief (C-IN-C).
President APJ Abdul Kalam, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee have extended their best wishes to all members of the Army, to ex-servicemen and to their families.
