SHILLONG: In a bid to honour the war heroes, a programme was organised by the Hamro Swabhiman Trust Shillong on Sunday to felicitate 40 odd veterans.
The president of the Trust, G Gurung said that this is just a small gesture of appreciation to huge sacrifices they have made for the people and the country.
Stating that they have served in various capacities within the Indian armed forces, Gurung said that given the hardship and sacrifices they have made it becomes much more pertinent to felicitate them and let them know that they are held in reverence.
Meanwhile, an elated retired Colonel and director of the Zilla Sainik Board, Shillong, Gautam Kumar Rai said that they are highly moved by this initiative while encouraging the younger generations to join the army.
“Through such programmes, normal serving soldiers will also be motivated to perform their duties to the best of their abilities,” Col. Rai said.
