On World Environment Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi planted a Sindoor sapling at his official residence, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg, New Delhi, in a symbolic gesture that blends environmental consciousness with national pride. The sapling was gifted to him by courageous women from Kutch, who had displayed remarkable bravery during the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
🔴 Key Highlights:
- The Sindoor plant was presented to PM Modi during his recent visit to Gujarat, where he met 13 surviving women warriors known as ‘Virangana’, who had helped the Indian Army rebuild the Bhuj airfield.
- The Sindoor sapling carries deep emotional and historical significance, representing resilience, devotion, and India’s unwavering spirit.
- PM Modi personally ploughed the soil, planted the sapling, and watered it, adding a personal touch to the ceremonial act.
📢 PM Modi’s Statement:
- “This plant will remain a strong symbol of the valor and inspiration of the women power of our country.”
- “Not blood, but sindoor flows through my veins.” This powerful message was first delivered after Operation Sindoor, India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, where Hindu men were killed in front of their wives.
⚠️ Strategic Impact:
- The Sindoor sapling now stands as a tribute to India’s brave women, reinforcing national strength and environmental responsibility.
- A memorial park named ‘Sindoor Van’ will be established near Bhuj town, dedicated to Operation Sindoor, featuring 80,000 plants and sections honoring the Army, Navy, Air Force, and BSF.
