Ludhiana, January 27, 2024: The 75th Republic Day was celebrated by Offset Printers’ Association (OPA) at its office at South City, Ludhiana. National flag was unfurled by Kushl Kumar Jain, Sr Vice President of OPA. Speaking on the occasion Prof. Kamal Chopra, General Secretary OPA said, it is the time to remember our heroes who were instrumental for the independence of our nation. It is the time to pay homage to all known and unknown stalwarts who sacrificed their life so that we can live peacefully in an independent country. It is therefore to celebrate the national days that is the prime objective of OPA, Chopra added.
In his address Kushl Kumar Jain said, Republic Day is celebrated annually as it is the anniversary of the day India became a republic. Republic Day marks the adoption of India's constitution and the country's transition to a republic on January 26, 1950. Though India's declaration of Independence was signed on 15th August 1947, the constitution which was written for independent India came into the effect on this day in 1950. Republic Day honours the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India. I am glad that we are here to celebrate the day, printers are the custodians of India’s colours, and our wishes are that our tricolour must fly high so that we can live with prestige in our beloved country.
Gagandeep Singh, Vice President, Hans Raj Chopra, Finance Secretory also paid tributes on the occasion. Others dignitaries present on the occasion were Romi Malhotra, Rohan Oberai, Sudhir Chopra, Shellinder Shelly, Ankush Gupta, Des Raj Saharan, Jagdish Vohra, Amrinder Singh, and Davinder Singh.
