Ahmedabad: A memorial park in the form of a high-density micro forest dedicated to , India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, will be built near Bhuj town in the Kutch district bordering Pakistan. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Spread across eight hectares, the park, to be called 'Sindoor Van' (Sindoor Forest), will feature different sections dedicated to the Indian armed forces — the Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as the Border Security Force (BSF), said Sandeep Kumar, chief conservator of forests, Kutch Circle. Kutch district shares both land and maritime borders with Pakistan. The site earmarked for 'Sindoor Van' at Mirzapar village near Bhuj includes a portion of land where Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting on May 26 during his first visit to Gujarat after Operation Sindoor, he said. "We will grow nearly 80,000 plants, herbs, shrubs, and climbers of about 40-45 species in this park dedicated to Operation Sindoor to amalgamate the bravery and courage of our armed forces in this park," explained Kumar. The park will also serve as lungs for the town and spread a message of environmental conservation, he stated. "Operation Sindoor will be the central theme of this park. We will create different sections dedicated to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and BSF in the park and install murals of defence equipment and platforms such as INS Vikrant, drones, and the S-400 missile system to spread awareness," informed Kumar. During the event on May 26, Modi met some of the surviving women who helped in rebuilding the airfield in Bhuj, which was bombed during the 1971 war with Pakistan. "At that time, these brave women gave a sapling of the Sindoor (vermillion) tree to the PM. That gave us the idea of creating a micro forest on the Sindoor theme. We will also plant saplings of the Sindoor tree or Bixa orellana in this park," said Kumar.
