Freedom-fighter Karnati Lakshminarasaiah hoists Tricolour Flag in Vijayawada

Vijayawada: The 72nd Independence Day celebration and 30th anniversary celebration of Ramesh Hospital were celebrated on the hospital premises here on Wednesday. Freedom-fighter Karnati Lakshminarasaiah hoisted the flag on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, Lakshminarasaiah said to drive away the British, who ruled India for about 200 years, many freedom-fighters sacrificed their lives. He recalled that in 1857, with the initiative of Mangal Panday the freedom fight for Independence started. 

Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi in 1947, India got Independence. He said that even though 71 years had passed, caste and racial discrimination, religious hatred and untouchability could not be eradicated in society which was very unfortunate.

Dr Ramesh Babu appreciated the doctors, paramedical staff of Ramesh hospitals for treating lakhs of patients in the last 30 years. Rangamma aaya was felicitated for her service on the occasion. Ramesh Hospital chairman Maddipati Sitaram Mohan Rao, Dr MC Das and others were present.
