Badal announces memorial in Doaba belt


Says will exclusively highlight Punjabi martyrs, to be better than the one at Anandpur Sahib

Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today announced the setting up of a high-tech memorial in Doaba region that would exclusively highlight Punjabis who were part of the freedom struggle.


The memorial, Badal said, would even outshine the Virasat-e-Khalsa complex that had come up at a cost of Rs 350 crore in Anandpur Sahib.

Addressing a gathering on the occasion of Bhagat Singh's martyrdom day at his ancestral Khatkar Kalan village, Badal said the deputy commissioners of four Doaba districts had been told to identify 20 to 25 acres of land for the memorial.
