Tree plantation conducted to honor brave soldiers at 39 GTC memorial lawn in Varanasi

Representative Image VARANASI: Tree plantation was conducted at the Memorial Lawn of the 39 Gorkha Training Centre Motivational Hall on Thursday in memory of the brave soldiers of the Third and Ninth Gorkhas. The Motivational Hall and Museum located at 39 GTC is a testament to the glorious history of the Gorkhas. This museum preserves unique artefacts and war-related memorabilia, each telling the poignant story of the indomitable courage, bravery, and sacrifice of the soldiers of the Third and Ninth Gorkhas during World War I, World War II, the 1962 India-China War, and the 1965 and 1971 India-Pakistan Wars. Paying tribute to the regiment's brave sons, Anil Singh , the Brand Ambassador of Ganga Haritima, administered an oath to the young Agniveers to nurture each tree planted in the Memorial Lawn outside the 39 GTC Motivational Hall. In memory of sixteen brave soldiers who were awarded the Shaurya Chakra and other high valour awards and made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, 16 Golden Cypress trees were planted. The 25 ornamental plants planted, such as Tacoma, Sawani Red, Red Plumeria, Red Ixora, Spathodea, Swarna Champa, Sindoor, etc., will display their beauty during the flowering season, filling the area with beautiful blooms.
