Sendhwa (Madhya Pradesh): In a poignant homage to the sacrifice of unsung heroes who laid down their lives for country's freedom, a Shilaphalakam (memorial plaque) was unveiled in Sendhwa. The momentous event marked the culmination of the ‘Meri Mati Mera Desh’ campaign, a conclusion to the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' celebrations.
The inauguration of the memorial plaque was conducted by dignitaries, including former minister Antar Singh Arya, municipal president Basanti Bai Yadav, SDM Abhishek Saraf, vice-president Mohan Joshi and Rahul Pawar.
The Shilaphalakam bears the names of 20 freedom fighters from Sendhwa who valiantly contributed to the nation's fight for liberty. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's inspiring message graces the plaque, underscoring the unity and pride that comes from honouring the nation's history.
Following the inauguration, a Tricolour rally paraded through the fort premises, embodying the spirit of patriotism and unity that binds the community together.
