New Delhi: Thousands of people gathered at Swabhiman Sthal, Ghevra Mod, on Monday to pay homage to former Delhi Chief Minister and Union Cabinet Minister Sahib Singh Verma on his Punyatithi, celebrating his enduring legacy of simplicity, integrity and selfless public service.

Leaders across the political spectrum described the late leader as a visionary administrator, educationist and mass leader whose contributions continue to shape Delhi’s development.
The ceremony concluded with floral tributes and a collective pledge to uphold the values that defined Sahib Singh Verma’s public life, ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire future generations.
