By planting the sindoor plant, PM Modi not only paid tribute to the brave women of Bhuj who helped rebuild a runway during the 1971 war but also promoted environmental awareness. “During my recent visit to Gujarat, the brave women of Kutch, mothers and sisters who showed remarkable courage and strength during the 1971 war, gifted me a sindoor plant. On this World Environment Day, I had the privilege of planting it at the prime minister’s residence in New Delhi. This plant will always stand as a powerful symbol of the spirit, bravery, and inspiration of the women of our country,” Modi wrote in a post on X.
