Glowing tributes paid to Galwan martyrs at Buniyadabad

Port Blair, June 24: A solemn homage programme was organised at the Buniyadabad community hall on June 23, 2020 evening to pay tributes to the Galwan martyrs. Residents and youth of Buniyadabad, Ward No-8 under the leadership of Mr. K Ganeshan, Municipal Councillor of this ward, along with the residents and youth of the area paid tributes to the brave Indian soldiers who lost their lives in a violent face-off with Chinese troops in Galwan Valley on June 15. Saluting the valour and courage of the 20 soldiers, Mr. K Ganeshan said it the duty of every islander to pay tributes to the brave soldiers. Citizens must work to make the country stronger and self-dependent. Islanders must offer prayers for the safety and well-being of soldiers since they defend us. The clash in the Galwan Valley is the biggest military confrontation between India and China after their clashes in Nathu La in 1967, in which 80 Indian soldiers were martyred while the People's Liberation Army (PLA) lost over 300 personnel.
