Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu greeted the people of the state on the occasion of Armed Forces Flag Day. He said that the youth of Himachal Pradesh have an important contribution in the Army and it was a matter of pride for the brave hearts of this small hill state that have been decorated with four Paramveer Chakras while valiantly protecting their motherland from external invasions.
The soldiers from the state have been always at the fore-front showing dust to enemy and even not afraid to sacrifice their lives for the Nation.
The Chief Minister said that it was the responsibility of all of us to provide proper assistance to the families of these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. The state government is continuously making efforts for the rehabilitation and welfare of war victims and ex-servicemen besides their families.
In an appeal to the general public, the Chief Minister has urged to contribute generously on the occasion of Armed Forces Flag Day so that the amount collected can be used to help the soldiers, ex-servicemen and their dependents.
