Mendhar, DD, As the sun set behind the majestic hills of Mendhar ,the town came alive with an atmosphere of warmth and togetherness. The Rashtriya Rifles Battalion, under the aegis of Headquarters Counter Insurgency Force (ROMEO), hosted a heartfelt Iftaar gathering, bringing together the local community and the Armed Forces in a celebration of unity, respect, and shared humanity.

The event saw the participation of over 225 people, including respected religious leaders, community members, and Army personnel, all coming together not just to break their fast but to reinforce the spirit of brotherhood and mutual respect. The evening was a reminder that despite different backgrounds and roles, the people of Mendhar and the soldiers who serve them stand together as one.

As the call to Maghrib prayer echoed through the town, a moment of quiet reflection swept across the gathering. Soldiers and civilians sat side by side, sharing a meal that carried deeper meaning—it was not just about food but about trust, friendship, and solidarity. The air was rich with the aroma of traditional delicacies, and as the first bites were taken, conversations blossomed, laughter echoed, and a sense of camaraderie filled the space.
