Salman was seen dressed in combat fatigues featuring a jacket with insignia, and other layers of the old Personal Camouflage Disruptive Pattern Material (PC DPM).

The new uniform was unveiled on January 15, 2022, during the 74th Army Day Parade in New Delhi.



For those who do not know, the Battle Of Galwan was an intense confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops back in 2020 in the Galwan Valley, a disputed border region in Ladakh. As firearms were prohibited in the region, the soldiers fought with their hands, using sticks and stones. The clash marked the first fatalities in the Sino-Indian border conflict in almost 45 years. Himesh Reshamiya has been roped in as the music composer for the drama, the release date for which is yet to be announced.
