In a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the Indian armed forces' 'Operation Sindoor', Bihar Minister Sunil Kumar planted a vermilion sapling in the Gopalganj district. The operation aims to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

During the event, Kumar emphasized the strength and unity showcased under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He pointed out the significance of the vermilion sapling, stating that its seeds are used to produce natural sindoor, further highlighting the cultural and patriotic elements of the gesture.
