Describing Jammu and Kashmir as “the land of Mother Saraswati and enlightened dream of Chaitanya”, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, in his Independence Day speech in Srinagar, said a ‘Gaurav Stambh’ will be established in Srinagar in the memory of the brave soldiers, who have sacrificed their lives defending our beloved motherland.
“I have full faith that the immortal flame of ‘Gaurav Stambh’ and the museum of our brave hearts will be the centre of inspiration for the new generation. I am proud of the brave hearts of the Jammu and Kashmir Police who have received 125 gallantry medals on the eve of Independence Day. Their sacrifices will always inspire us,” L-G Sinha said.
