The district administration organised a function to observe Veerata Divas at the Soukhin Kalakar Sangha Ranga Manch on Wednesday.
Notably, the day is observed to remember son of the soil of the district Saheed Madho Singh, in particular and other freedom fighters of the country, in general.
District Collector Anjan Manik presided over the meeting.

They sought inclusion of a topic on Madho Singh in school curriculum. Besides, tele film, story and one-act play on the life history of Madho Singh should also be released in the State, they suggested.
