A tribute meeting was organised at Lok Bhawan on the occasion, in which officers and staff of Raj Bhavan also paid their heartfelt tributes to the immortal martyrs. A two-minute silence was observed in their memory, honouring their unparalleled courage, patriotism and dedication to the cause of the country's freedom.
