Jamshedpur, Aug 8:Thousands of people thronged Kadma to pay floral tributes to Nirmal Mahto at his mausoleum on his 35^th death anniversary. On this occasion, tributes were paid to him at his Samadhi Sthal at Uliyan in Kadma and Martyrdom Sthal at Chamaria Guest House in Bistupur. There was an influx of veterans of Kolhan arriving here one after the other.

Apart from Minister Champai Soren, senior leaders associated with the party were also present on the occasion. Along with him, a group of party workers reached the site one after the other. The whole atmosphere reverberated with the slogans of Jai Jharkhand and Veer Shaheed Nirmal Mahto Amar Rahe. At the same time, the entire martyrdom site was covered with flags and banners of the JMM.

On this occasion, Soren said in his address that the present Hemant Soren government is serious about the creation of Jharkhand based on Nirmal da’s dreams. Work is being done rapidly in that direction. It is the moral duty of every Jharkhandis to take a pledge to make Jharkhand their dreams by remembering them on this day. Earlier, Minister Champai Soren paid homage to the late Nirmal Da’s statue installed at the Chamaria Guest House main gate and paid his respects.
