Vijayawada (NTR district): District Collector S Dilli Rao exhorted people to donate liberally for the Flag Day in the larger interest of the families of the soldiers, who sacrificed their lives for the country.
After receiving a Flag from the district sainik welfare officer Surgeon Lieutenant Commander K Kalyana Veena at the Collectorate here on Wednesday, the collector said that the country is proud of the sacrifices of the soldiers. "The country owes so much to the soldiers and it is our responsibility to help the families of the martyr soldiers to lead a respectable life," he said.
Surgeon Lieutenant Commander Kalyana Veena said that several armed force personnel are losing their lives while fighting the border terrorism and insurgency. She appealed to the people to come forward to help the families of soldiers.
