Apr13-1919: British forces,under Dyer’s command opened fire at peaceful protestors leaving thousands of Indian killed & injured inside Jallianwala Bagh.
Today at 6:25 pm, after 102 yrs,4 months & 15 days PM @narendramodi will inaugurate museum galleries at Jallianwala smarak
That PM @narendramodi has utmost regard for Indian forces/freedom struggle was beautifully captured by @ThePulseIndia in this thread. No wonder PM has chosen 6:25pm as time to inaugurate museum galleries at Jallianwala Bagh smarak. U know Dyer gave firing orders @ 6:25pm only!
The museum galleries to the smarak have been added in record time as foundation stone for expansion was laid on January 25 2021 only.
To pay homage to the martyrs, the soil from their homes and villages was used in the construction of this smarak.
4 Museum galleries have been added. The galleries not only showcases the historical value of the events but also recreate the horror of that day using audio-visual technology, including projection mapping and 3D representation. Remembrance is essential to avoid it in future!
A Sound & Light show will help replay the events 13Apr1919. All the restoration and development initiatives have been undertaken by focusing on the Punjab heritage and in keeping with the local Punjabi architectural.
This project is a living example of what PM @narendramodi is trying via his call to observe 14th August as the #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay - this wall is part of that remembrance only!
