SRINAGAR, January 30, 2026: In a poignant reflection of national gratitude, the Divisional Commissioner of Kashmir, Anshul Garg, led a solemn tribute to Mahatma Gandhi today, marking the anniversary of the Mahatma’s martyrdom with a deep reverence for the principles that forged a nation.
Standing amidst a gathering of officers and staff at the Divisional Commissioner’s office, Garg underscored the enduring relevance of truth, non-violence (Ahimsa), and social justice—the pillars upon which Gandhi built the Indian freedom struggle. The atmosphere was one of quiet introspection as the Divisional Commissioner invoked the spirit of the “Father of the Nation,” reminding those present that Gandhi’s legacy is not merely a chapter in history but a living blueprint for unity and moral integrity in modern governance.
To bridge the past with the present, a profound two-minute silence was observed, a collective pause that echoed through the halls to honor the ultimate sacrifices made by Gandhi and the countless martyrs who surrendered their lives to secure India’s sovereignty.
This ceremony served as a powerful reaffirmation of the region’s commitment to the Gandhian path, ensuring that the flame of peace ignited decades ago continues to light the way for future generations.
