Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Sunil Lanba today visited Shaheed Smarak at Nodia and paid homage to the Martyrs and laying wreath. <br/><br/>Speaking on the occasion, Mr Lanba said it was indeed an honor for him to pay tributes to these soldiers, airmen and sailors. He also assured the families of these brave souls that the Armed Forces will continue to steer firmly on the path shown by them in ensuring security of our seaward and landward frontiers. <br/><br/>The function was attended by a large number of civil and military dignitaries, IAS and IPS officers, ex-servicemen, school children and common citizens. The Noida Shaheed Smarak is one such unique Tri- service memorial raised by the Noida township which is keeping the memories and spirit of our martyrs alive.<br/><br/>The idea of setting up such a War Memorial to honor Martyrs was conceived in 1998. The existing Memorial is an eloquent tribute and homage to all those armed forces personnel whose ultimate sacrifice led to several decisive victories since independence.
