Kartarpur, Aug 14 (UNI) On the eve of the country’s 73rd Independence Day, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday dedicated the third phase of the Jung-E-Azadi memorial here to the martyrs of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the unsung heroes who were incarcerated in the Andaman Cellular Jail during the freedom struggle.
The memorial would go a long way in spreading awareness among the younger generations about India’s glorious past and the sacrifices made by the hundreds of thousands of people who fought to free Indians from the British shackles.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister also digitally launched a slew of other projects for Jalandhar district, as part of Rs 450 crore worth of development and welfare projects inaugurated across the state on the I-day eve.
