Rich tributes paid to Bhagat Singh in Thane

Rich tributes were today paid to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh to mark the day when he laid down his life for the country.

Thane Additional Superintendent of Police Srinivas Ghatge asked citizens to mould their children in such a way that they care of the country.

"Children should be educated about Indian culture, tradition, history. They should also be made aware about the national heroes and their contribution towards the country," he said addressing an annual function of preschool Millennium Star Kids here.

"They can do projects on national heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Veer Savarkar among others and in turn take inspiration," he added.
 

District judge (Retired) Suresh Dwivedi, BJP National Council Member Om Prakash Sharma and school chairman Manish Mehta were present on the occasion.

It was on this day that Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were executed, a few hours ahead of schedule, after the trio were sentenced to death in the Lahore conspiracy case.
