Tributes paid to 1962 war brave hearts
Ranchi: Hundreds of people on Saturday paid tributes to the soil of Rezang-La , the site where 120 army personnel laid down their lives during the 1962 Sino-India war , which was kept in a 'Kalash' for the public at the IMA Bhavan. Organised by the Akhil Bhartiya Yadav Mahasabha , the Kalash will travel through 19 states and reach New Delhi on November 18. RJD's state vice-president Anita Yadav, the in-charge of the procession in Jharkhand, said the Kalash was then taken on a tour of the city to educate the denizens about the battle of Rezang-La before it headed to Ramgarh. Dinesh Yadav, general secretary of All India Yadav Mahasabha, said, "Yadavs form a large section in Indian army and many of them have been martyred in the line of duty. The community has been raising demand for a separate battalion for it for past 100 years." Welcoming the Centre's decision to conduct caste-based census, Dinesh said political parties can no longer ignore the community.

Soil from 1962 Sino-India war site reaches J'khand
Ranchi/Hazaribag: "Kalash" procession, a march with the sacred vessel containing soil from Rezang-La , where Indian soldiers sacrificed their lives in the 1962 Sino-Indian war, arrived in Jharkhand on Friday evening. The vessel will traverse 13 districts of the state before proceeding to Chhattisgarh. Initiated by Akhil Bhartiya Yadav Mahasabha since April 13, the procession will cover 19 states, culminating at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on November 18. The effort aims to commemorate Indian soldiers' valour while advocating for the establishment of an Ahir (Yadav) regiment in the Army. Rezang-La, an Indian Army post in Ladakh, witnessed the Charlie company of the Kumaon Battalion, comprising Yadav community members, engaging in an intense battle with two Chinese regiments on the night of November 18 and 19, ultimately sacrificing their lives. Anita Yadav, state RJD vice president and tour coordinator for the "Kalash" procession in Jharkhand, said, "The 'Kalash' has entered Jharkhand from West Bengal. It would be kept at the IMA building in Ranchi on Saturday for people to pay homage to the martyrs. A procession would also be taken out later on." She mentioned that the demand for the Ahir regiment dates back nearly 100 years, with the British authorities promising its formation after World War I. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!
