We are proud of our army, PM Modi in Mann Ki Baat: Highlights New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the nation through Mann Ki Baat programme.

Here are the important highlights:

* We lost 18 soldiers in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri. I pay my tribute to these martyrs, there is anger in the country. This cowardly act was enough to shake the conscience of the country. The perpetrators of these attacks will be punished for sure. We have full confidence in Indian Army and are proud of them. While politicians speak, military shows bravery. We are proud of our army, says PM

* Today, I want to speak to the people of Kashmir. They have started to recognise those who oppose our country. They want their life to get back on track. All of us know that peace and unity is the only solution to our problems. The security of the people of Kashmir is the responsibility of the administration.

* I appreciate the efforts by young Harshvardhan. He wrote to me after the attacks, said he was troubled by the attack. He said he will study three extra hours, become an ideal citizen and serve the nation.

* Several people who wrote on @mygovindia and the 'Narendra Modi App' urged me to talk about Paralympics. The medal winners including Deepa Malik and Devendra Jhajharia have made the whole country proud. I came to know that some of these paralympians broke the records held by normal athletes. I want to tell the country through the 'Mann ki Baat' that my government will empower these paralympians.

* Swachh Bharat completes two years. 2.48 Crore toilets built in the rural areas. 1.5 Cr more will be constructed in next year.

* Use the number 1969 to know about progress of Swachh Bharat. The number can also be used for requesting work in your area.

* I urge youth to come up with relevant new startups about "Waste to Wealth" Model.

* Wing commander Paramveer Singh swam 2800 kms, from Dev prayag to Ganga Sagar in order to spread message of cleanliness: PM Modi

* On 2nd October this year, you all can join cleanliness drive. You can devote 2-4 hours for it: PM Modi said.

* Prime Minister invited young entrepreneurs and Startups to use new technologies in the Waste-to-Wealth industry.
