Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the importance of remembering historical moments and honoring soldiers who protect the nation. He unveiled a statue of Captain Anshuman Singh, emphasizing the respect owed to the military. His government supports the families of fallen soldiers with financial aid and jobs.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday stressed the importance of a nation remembering its past and deriving inspiration from its historical triumphs to safeguard its freedom. Speaking at the unveiling of Captain Anshuman Singh's statue at Budheshwar Square, he paid tribute to the bravery of soldiers who risk their lives to ensure the country's security.

Adityanath underscored the collective respect and affection Indians have for military personnel, which he believes boosts the morale of soldiers and their families manifold.
