Srinagar: The national-level observance of Forest Martyrs Day 2025 will be held in Srinagar on September 11, marking a solemn tribute to forest personnel who sacrificed their lives protecting India’s forests and wildlife. This was announced during a meeting between the All India Forest Officers Federation (AIFOF) and Minister for Forest, Ecology & Environment, Javed Ahmed Rana, at the Civil Secretariat in Srinagar on Thursday.

The Federation emphasized that this annual observance is meant to highlight the courage and selflessness of frontline forest protectors who have laid down their lives in the line of duty.

Minister Javed Ahmed Rana lauded the Federation’s decision to host the prestigious event in Srinagar, saying it underlines Jammu & Kashmir’s deep connection to nature and the environment.

“The commemoration of Forest Martyrs Day is a tribute to the selfless service and ultimate sacrifices made by forest officials and others who have worked tirelessly to protect India’s forests and wildlife,” the Minister said.

He added that forest officials, guards, and environmentalists are the true stewards of India’s green cover and must be duly recognized and honored. Rana also reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting all efforts that promote environmental conservation and public service.

Government Support for Grand Observance

The Minister instructed Forest Department authorities to extend full logistical and administrative support to the Federation to ensure the successful organisation of the national event. He noted that the observance will serve as a reminder of the critical importance of protecting India’s ecological heritage and the people who devote their lives to this mission.

National Tribute, Local Pride

This year’s event is expected to draw participation from forest officers across India, NGOs, environmental activists, students, and government representatives. Hosting the event in Srinagar is seen as a symbolic gesture, acknowledging the challenging conditions in which forest personnel often work, especially in ecologically sensitive and conflict-prone regions.
