"This solemn act was in honour of the supreme sacrifice of our brave martyrs," the Chief Minister stated. He emphasized that the unparalleled courage and selfless devotion of these heroes not only laid the foundation for India’s freedom but continue to serve as a beacon of inspiration for future generations.

The Chief Minister’s spontaneous participation underscores the state’s deep commitment to honoring the legacy of those who fought for India's sovereignty.
