Casting ceremony for 500kg five-metal 'Victory Pillar'

A casting ceremony was held yesterday in Puliyancheri, Kumbakonam, for the creation of a 500kg five-metal (panchaloha) 'Operation Sindhur' victory pillar.

The pillar is being erected to commemorate the 'Operation Sindhur' conducted by the Indian Army on May 7 last year, as a retaliatory strike against terrorist attacks in Kashmir.

Members of the Kumbakonam Merchants' Association and former military personnel attended the ceremony.
