JAMMU: In a spirit of unity and remembrance, the Ambedkar Jayanti Celebration Committee held a public extension meeting at Puran Nagar, Bhagwati Nagar, Jammu, to raise awareness about the much-anticipated Ambedkar-Phule Rally scheduled for April 10, 2025. The gathering saw active participation from local citizens, with a strong presence from the Vishwakarma Sabha and community leaders.

Adv. Sahil Kundal, Committee Incharge, briefed the attendees about the rally’s route and significance. He shared that the rally will begin from Yatri Niwas, Bhagwati Nagar, and proceed through Canal Head, Jewel Chowk, Lower Gummat, and Gujjar Nagar, finally culminating at the historic Ambedkar Chowk — a symbolic site of reflection and homage.

The committee extended heartfelt gratitude to the residents of Puran Nagar and surrounding areas for their overwhelming support and urged everyone to join hands in rally preparations, encouraging youth and elders alike to participate and amplify the rally’s mission. Notable among those present were Som Raj, Bittu Bhaiya, Jang Bahadur, who lent their voices in support of the rally’s message — celebrating the enduring legacies of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Jyotirao Phule, and their tireless fight for social justice and equality.
