Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will unveil the statue of the revered warrior, Veerangna Uda Devi Pasi, known for her bravery during the First War of Indian Independence. The event marks her martyrdom day and will feature public ceremonies with several dignitaries in attendance.

A major event in Uttar Pradesh will see Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath unveiling a statue of Veerangna Uda Devi Pasi on Sunday. This occasion commemorates Pasi's fierce courage and sacrifice during the First War of Indian Independence in 1857.
