Theme park in memory of two Sahibzadas dedicated to nation

Chamkaur Sahib, Dec 21 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh today dedicated to the nation first phase of the theme park to commemorate Baba Ajit Singh and Baba Jhuzar Singh and 40 Sikh martyrs, on their 302nd martyrdom anniversary here.

Talking to mediapersons on the concluding day of the historic ''Jor Mela'' held in their honour, Capt Singh said the unique and unprecedented martyrdom of these two Sahibzadas along with 40 Sikhs had left an indelible mark in the annals of history.

''Akalis and SGPC were supposed to build these memorials but they did not take any initiative in this regard, on the other hand we constructed four commemorative gates at Fatehgarh Sahib and the Mukta-e-Minar (tallest Khanda in the world) in memory of 40 Muktas at Muktsar,'' asserted Capt Singh.

The theme park was the sole endeavour of the state government to showcase the various aspects of Chamkaur Sahib, the greatest name of chivalry in the history of the humanity.

This park was not merely a monument but a vital link to apprise the Punjabi diaspora settled abroad of their glorious and rich cultural heritage and legacy, he said.

The remaining two phase of the park would be completed by next year.
