Tera Shukhriya: A Musical tribute to the police force

- Sanchita Kalra

To salute the phenomenal spirits and tireless services of the front line warriors in the fight against Covid-19, a Delhi-based NGO, Naad Foundation, has released a song, Tera Shukhriya, honouring the police forces on the 74th Independen­ce Day.

It features many popular personalit­ies, such as singers Kailash Kher and Navraj Hans, music-composer duo Sachin–jigar, actors Aamir Ali, Hussain Kuwajerwal­a and Nitin Arora.

The idea of paying a musical tribute to the police force, struck a chord with Nishi Singh, founder of Naad Foundation, after her vigorous social service during the period. Some key initiative­s by her foundation include distributi­ng 10 tonnes of dry rations to needy in Delhi and providing PPE kits, gloves, masks and sanitiser to doctors and police personnel.

“It is a token of love from us to our police forces who worked relentless­ly and with utter dedication. The video outlines the great effort of the police, especially Delhi Police, to keep citizens safe from Covid-19,” says Singh.

The song that evokes a feeling of gratitude with its power-packed lyrics, took almost a month to compose. “The shoot was done during the lockdown.

The celebritie­s recorded their parts at their home,” she says, adding that the response to the song is overwhelmi­ng. “Delhi Police officers and other staff are extremely delighted to see the song,” Singh shares.
