Today, I want to pay my heartfelt homage to the freedom fighters, our local heroes, Sh. Maan Singh, Sh. Balwant Singh, and Sh. Ram Singh. Their sacrifices and unwavering determination paved the way for the freedom we enjoy today. Their indomitable spirit should continue to inspire us to uphold the values they fought for.
Let us also take a moment to remember the Saheeds of our village, Silana, who laid down their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is a reminder that our freedom and independence were not easily won and must be cherished and protected by every generation.
