India has gained new strategic strength in recent years and its borders are more secure than ever, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to the nation from the ramparts of Red Fort on the 77th Independence Day.

He reiterated the government’s resolve to ensure national security amid the current global security scenario, asserting that a number of military reforms are being undertaken to modernise the armed forces and make them “young and battle ready” to deal with all future challenges.
