Shilaphalakams will be erected in urban and rural areas to pay tribute to local heroes from villages, panchayats, blocks, towns, cities, municipalities, etc. While engaging with local residents, Rekha Mahajan stated that this drive, initiated by PM Modi, aims to commemorate the "achievements of the nation and its brave hearts" and to honor the sacrifices of the martyred men and women.
