In a rare and stirring display of unity, patriotism, and purpose, hundreds of doctors and medical staff gathered today in front of Sri Kote Anjaneya Swamy Temple near the Palace to express unwavering solidarity with the Indian Armed Forces.

This heartfelt rally came in the wake of the heinous terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 27 innocent Indian tourists.

Draped in white coats and armed with national flags, the doctors turned the temple forecourt into a sea of saffron, white, and green. The air vibrated with the thunderous chants of “Bharat Mata ki Jai” and “Vande Mataram”, as patriotism flowed through the crowd like a mighty river.

These healers of the nation came together not to treat wounds, but to stand tall with those who defend the nation, the valiant soldiers of India.

The programme was graced by the presence of MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar. His presence added solemnity and pride to the occasion, reflecting the city’s rich heritage and unwavering nationalism.
