sent 5000 kg of sweets for jawans on Indian borders. Governor of Punjab and
Administrator UT Chandigarh V.P. Singh Badnore, flagged off the two truck loads
containing 5,000 boxes for jawans at Punjab Raj Bhavan here today.

is a commendable gesture of Rotarians to remember Army Jawans who guard our
borders day and night so that we can live in peace.

consignment is being airlifted by Indian Air Force for further distribution to
army units at Siachin and Ladakh borders where our jawans serve in hard
conditions to protect our borders.
Rotary
District Governor Praveen Chander Goyal, said that ‘Aap Hain, To Hum Hain’ is
the greeting pasted on each box from Rotarians of pride Chandigarh, Punjab,
Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, UP and Uttrakhand, who contributed for this
campaign.
He
commended the efforts of the Project Chair past district governor Kawal Bedi
who managed the campaign and galvanized Rotarians to contribute over Rs.20 lakh
within a period of one week.

program was initiated three years back by Rotary Club of Chandigarh when 4,000
boxes of 1kg each were airlifted to Leh.
