Explaining the motivation behind his gesture, he told TNIE, “When I saw on television last night that a war-like situation was developing between India and Pakistan and soldiers’ leaves were being cancelled, I made this resolve to offer a small transport service for the sake of national service.”He estimated that nearly 500 soldiers were currently on leave at home in Dharchula, Pithoragarh, and many could face difficulties returning to their respective units.Bhupendra’s commitment to the army is also deeply personal, his son, Pankaj Singh, currently serves in the Indian Army. “I am happy that I am a soldier’s son and my son is also a soldier. Although I harboured a strong desire to serve the nation as an army officer myself, by contributing through my travel business, I stand with the Indian Army today,” he added.When asked how long he planned to continue offering the free service, Bhupendra said with resolve, “Until peace is restored on the India–Pakistan border.”
