The 1971 war between India and Pakistan has completed 50 years. In memory of this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had flagged off the victory torch in different directions from the National War Memorial in New Delhi on 16 December. This Vijay Jyoti reached Jamshedpur on Sunday, 7 November, which was given a grand welcome.
The members of the All India Ex-Servicemen Service Council were standing with flowers and garlands at Dimna Chowk, Mango, the gateway of Jamshedpur, from 12 noon. As soon as Vijay Jyoti arrived, Bharat Mata ki Jai… drowned in gaiety with the proclamation. After this, when the Vijay Jyoti vehicle passed through Dimna Road in Mango, people stood on both sides of the road and showered flowers.
