SAMBA: As part of the ongoing plantation drive "Ek Ped Maa K Naam, Ek Ped Shahidoon K Naam," the District Administration Samba organized a significant plantation event at Veer Bhoomi Park. The drive aims to honor mothers and martyrs by planting trees in their names, fostering a greener and more sustainable environment.

Deputy Commissioner Samba, Abhishek Sharma, led the event, paying tribute to 1971 war hero martyr Arun Khetarpal at Veer Bhoomi Park. His homage was a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our soldiers and the importance of remembering their contributions.
