Marking the 61st death anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the City District Congress Committee, led by President Kulbir Singh Chhabra, held a memorial symposium at the Congress Bhawan on Tuesday. Nehru, widely regarded as the architect of modern India and the visionary behind the Planning Commission, public sector undertakings, and institutions like IITs and ITMs, was honored for his historic role in shaping post-independence India.
City Congress General Secretary Amit Chandravanshi informed that party members garlanded Nehru’s portrait and offered floral tributes before reflecting on his life and achievements during the symposium.
