On the occasion of World Environment Day, the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi planted a Sindoor sapling at his residence in New Delhi. The plant was gifted to him by the brave mothers and sisters of Kutch, Gujarat, who had displayed extraordinary courage and patriotism during the 1971 India-Pakistan war.

Recalling his recent visit to Gujarat, the Prime Minister said the gift of the Sindoor plant will remain a strong symbol of the bravery and inspiration of the women power of our country.

In a X post, PM Modi said;

The brave mothers and sisters of Kutch, who set an amazing example of courage and valor in the 1971 war, recently presented me with a Sindoor plant during my visit to Gujarat.

Today, on World Environment Day, I have had the privilege of planting that plant in the Prime Minister’s residence in New Delhi. This plant will remain a strong symbol of the valor and inspiration of the women power of our country.
