On Saturday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated a laser, light, and sound show at the Smritika War Memorial in Lucknow Cantonment, Uttar Pradesh, India. Singh emphasized that national security is a collective responsibility of every citizen, not just the defence forces. The 30-minute multimedia presentation highlights major milestones in India's military history, including the 1947-48, 1962, 1965, and 1971 wars, as well as significant operations like Meghdoot and Vijay. The show utilizes advanced projection mapping, sound, and lighting to portray the armed forces' contributions and the ongoing modernization efforts under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The memorial has been upgraded with modern facilities, including an amphitheater and high-end projectors, to enhance the visitor experience. This initiative is a partnership between the Central Command and the Uttar Pradesh government, with plans to open the show to the public soon.
