According to an article recently published by NDTV, every year, the PM visits some security installations at the time of Diwali. In a speech he made at Lepcha, he stated that this tradition of his was longstanding and that he did it even before he was a prime minister or a chief minister.

Diwali is arguably the biggest festival in India. People, regardless of faith, come together to celebrate this festival. At a time when everybody wants to be with their family, the Jawans spend it at the border ensuring that the rest of the country can safely celebrate happiness and create memories with their loved ones.
