“Under this, many programs will be organized across the country in memory of our immortal jawans, including an ‘Amrit Kalash Yatra’, as a part of which soil, saplings in 7500 urns from every corner of the country will reach the national capital to make an Amrit Vatika near National War Memorial,” PM Modi said,” adding that this ‘Amrit Vatika’ will also become a grand symbol of ‘Ek Bharat Shresth Bharat’.
