Pune’s historic fortification, Shaniwar Wada, will resonate with soul-stirring notes from the Bombay Sappers military band on Friday as part of a special Independence Day event honouring the spirit of Operation Sindoor and the courage of the Indian Armed Forces. The music event is likely to begin around 5:30 pm. Comprising 34 talented musicians, the Bombay Sappers Military Band carries forward this proud tradition through the powerful medium of music, a release cited.
During Operation Sindoor, precision strikes were carried out by the Indian Armed Forces, who then destroyed at least nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This operation was a retaliatory attack for the April 22 Pahalgam attack, where 26 innocent people were killed by the terrorists.
'Echoes of Valour- A Tribute Through Tunes’ — the title of the performance to be carried out by the Bombay Sappers, will blend ceremonial grandeur with patriotic melodies, inducing pride, unity, and heartfelt remembrance of the sacrifices that led to India's freedom.
"This unique musical evening will honour the valiant spirit of Operation Sindoor and the unwavering courage of the Indian Armed Forces. As the Tricolour flutters proudly, let us celebrate freedom, honour the brave and carry forward the spirit of unity and sacrifice that defines our great nation,” said an official press release.
Bombay Engineer Group and Centre, the alma mater of the Bombay Sappers, has a glorious history dating back over two centuries. Raised in the year 1820, the Bombay Sappers have stood at the forefront of combat engineering, from the first Afghan war to modern-day operations. Renowned for their engineering brilliance, gallantry, and indomitable spirit, their motto "Sarvatra" reflects their unmatched versatility and readiness to serve in any theatre of operation, stated the release.
With a legacy spanning decades, the band has graced national ceremonies and regimental celebrations, inspiring audiences with their precision, discipline, and emotive renditions of martial and patriotic tunes.
