JAMMU, June 24: Dogra Sadar Sabha (DSS) today held a meeting in the Sabha Bhawan at Dogra Hall where members from neighbouring districts, distinguished citizens, executive body members and other prominent citizens participated.
During the meeting, all the members in one voice expressed gratitude to Union Home Minister Amit Shah for laying foundation stone of the War Memorial as a tribute to our brave hearts of Armed Forces who made the supreme sacrifices in defending, protecting, securing and constantly fighting against the inimical forces who attacked and terrorized the local population and forced enormous painful miseries on peace loving local populace.
“The State war memorial will be a place of pilgrimage for all those Indians who have given their dearest possession- their bread earners for the cause of the nation. It will be a constant everlasting connection between J&K and rest of the nation, encouraging nationalist tourism as the family members from throughout the country visit the memorial to pay homage to their dear ones,” said president DSS, Thakur Gulchain Singh Charak.
The DSS members urged the LG and the Central Government to complete this project on war footing to make it at least presentable enough by Independence Day 2023 and in full bloom by Republic Day 2024. This will be the biggest gift from J&K to the Nation which has cared for this ‘Crown’ territory for 76 years, they added.
Various other issues like the problems of dismissed Nambardars, houses sinking in Ramban area, bad road alignment, slow progress of restoration of Mubarak Mani Heritage complex, blockage of road in front of Jammu Secretariat were among issues of concern raised by various members.
Prominent among those who attended the meeting were Col KS Jamwal, Gambhir Dev Singh, Prem Sagar Gupta, Amanat Ali Shah, GA Khawaja, Maj Gen (Retd) Sunita Kapoor, Janak Khajuria, Madan Rangila, Mahadeep Singh, Jagdeep, Chhankar Singh and Rajeev Kumar.
