A wreath-laying ceremony was held at the memorial, where officers, dignitaries and jawans paid floral tributes to the personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty. The Ceremonial Guard presented a salute, while a minute’s silence, accompanied by the sounding of the bugle, was observed as a mark of respect to the martyrs.
