Fatehgarh Sahib. Dec 26

The district police paid tributes to Shaheed Udham Singh on his birth anniversary at the Rauza Sharif memorial here today.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Amneet Kondal, along with other officials, was present on the occasion.

Addressing the gathering, Kondal said all those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the nation became immortal and a source of inspiration for the coming generations. She said the communities that forget their martyrs could not make any progress.

She said: “We should take a pledge to wage a war against social evils such as drug abuse, female foeticide, dowry, corruption, adulteration and pollution and construct a healthy society”.

She said Udham Singh sacrificed his life not for a religion or caste but to take revenge on the British for the Jallianwala massacre. She said it was our moral responsibility that every Indian should work to strengthen the unity and integrity of the country. She urged the youths to take inspiration from the great martyrs and dedicate themselves selflessly for the cause of society.
