Tribute to Martyrs

Following the flag-hoisting ceremony, Sharma will visit the Shaheed Smarak at Public Park in Bikaner to pay tribute to the soldiers and other bravehearts who sacrificed their lives for the nation.

At the memorial, the Chief Minister will pay his respects and lay a wreath in their memory. The Shaheed Smarak holds significance as a site where tributes are paid to the martyrs on important national occasions.

The programme comes as the country observes its 80th Independence Day, commemorating eight decades since India gained independence from British rule in 1947.

Sharma's visit to the memorial after the flag-hoisting ceremony will also provide an opportunity to pay tribute to the armed forces and martyrs whose sacrifices are remembered during the national celebrations.
