PM Modi to unveil renovated complex of Jallianwala Bagh memorial today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the renovated complex of the Jallianwala Bagh memorial on Saturday, August 28,  via video conference. The PMO said that Modi will also inaugurate museum galleries developed at the memorial in Amritsar.

The PMO mentioned that four museum galleries have been created through adaptive reuse of redundant and underutilized buildings. The event will showcase multiple development initiatives taken by the government to upgrade the complex. According to the govt, the galleries showcase the historical value of events that unfolded in Punjab during that period, with the fusion of audio-visual technology, including projection mapping and 3D representation, as well as art and sculptural installations.

"Multiple development initiatives have been undertaken at the complex. Elaborate heritage restoration works have been carried out in sync with the local architectural style of Punjab. The Shaheedi well has been repaired and restored with a redefined superstructure. The heart of the Bagh, the flame monument, has been repaired and restored, water body rejuvenated as a lily pond, and the pathways made broader for better navigability," it said.

A sound and light show has been set up to display the events that took palce on April 13, 1919, when the British forces fired indiscriminately on a large and peaceful gathering of protesters, killing over 1,000 people and wounding hundreds of them.
