Recently, government of Nepal declared 8500 people as martyrs. This
decision was taken by the government on 9th Poush 2065 BS. These
martyrs were taken from Maoist revolution, Madhes movement and
racial group movement in different places of the country. Still there may
be many martyrs in our country who have sacrified their lives for the sake
of the country. We should search for them and honour them. We should

fulfill the dreams of our martyrs.
