‘SANKALP SMARAK’ DEDICATED TO THE NATION BY CINCAN
In India’s freedom struggle saga, December 30, 1943, holds a special place etched in time. On this day, a national flag was hoisted for the first time on Indian soil at Port Blair. It is also significant that Netaji escaped British surveillance from Kolkata on January 16 1941, and stepped back on Indian soil after nearly three years at Port Blair Aerodrome on December 29 1943, at 11:30 am and unfurled a national flag the next day. In order to preserve this important event in history, a Sankalp Smarak was dedicated to the nation by Commander-in-Chief Andaman and Nicobar Command, exactly 78 years after Netaji’s arrival on December 29, 2021, at 11:30 am.
