Recognizing the invaluable contributions of women across all walks of life, she paid special tribute to the women traffic police officers and sanitation workers—the true unsung heroes of our nation.
“These women not only shoulder their domestic responsibilities but also selflessly serve society, ensuring its safety, cleanliness, and order. Their dedication exemplifies the spirit of womanhood, where nurturing extends beyond the home to the entire community,” said Ms. Palkar.
