The event was held under the leadership of Ward No. 18 Councillor and Block President Navdeep Singh Hundal. Social activist Manjit Verka, Surinder Pradhan, and other colleagues were also present. Navdeep Singh remarked that it is because of martyrs like Bhagat Singh that we breathe in a free India today. He added that every year in Verka, Bhagat Singh’s birth anniversary would continue to be celebrated in the same inspirational manner.
At the conclusion of the program, all those present paid floral tributes to Shaheed Bhagat Singh and pledged to walk on his ideals. A large number of local residents participated, filling the atmosphere with patriotism. The entire venue resonated with patriotic songs and slogans. Organizers said that remembering and honoring the martyrs is the truest form of national service.
