Hindu Community Honors Wilton First Responders

Raksha Bandham is a day to remember the duties to protect our family, the weak and vulnerable in our society, to protect our nation, and to protect the world for

global peace and prosperity.

Volunteers of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh Wilton chapter and members of Wilton Hindu Community take this as an opportunity, to express their gratitude to those who selflessly serve and protect our community and show their appreciation to the first responders in our town.

During this ceremony that was held Saturday, August 16th, with the Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Wilton Police Department, Wilton Fire Department, Wilton CERT and town officials, we were presented with a blessing and given a “rakhi”, a colorful bracelet that symbolizes a reminder of the protection our services provide to the community. We were also presented with certificates from US Congressman Representative Jim Himes and US Senator Chris Murphy as well as speeches by Wilton First Selectwoman Toni Boucher and CT State Representative Savet Constantine.
