Speaking on the occasion, BDL CMD Commodore Siddharth Mishra (Retd) said the Mahotsav would give an opportunity to cherish the special moments of India’s freedom struggle and at the same time, to recall the innumerable sacrifices made by the great sons of the motherland. “We are proud that at one hand, India has supplied vaccine shots to the world for fighting the coronavirus and on the other hand, the country is offering missiles and torpedoes for export to foreign countries,” he said.
