Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated Shaurya Van in Jaisalmer — a spectacular light-and-sound show honouring the courage and sacrifice of Indian soldiers. The show, set in the Thar Desert at the 1971 Indo-Pak war museum, pays tribute to the Armed Forces’ valour. Earlier in the day, the minister also released the Defence Procurement Manual (DPM) 2025 in New Delhi, aimed at streamlining defence procurement worth ₹1 lakh crore.
