Amit Shah to unveil 1857 martyrs memorial in Ambala on Nov 5

Ambala, Oct 28 (UNI) In a historic moment for the nation, union Home Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate the “Azadi ki Pehli Ladai ka Shaheed Smarak” (Memorial to the Martyrs of the First War of Independence) at Ambala Cantonment on November 5.
The grand memorial, built at a cost of about Rs 800 crore, is Asia’s largest tribute to the heroes of the 1857 uprising, finally giving national recognition to the countless men and women whose sacrifices were long buried in history.
The journey to this day took decades. Conceived in 2010 during former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s tenure, the project faced bureaucratic delays for years. Despite acquiring 22 acres near the local IOC depot and securing Rs 17 crore in sanction from the previous Congress government, the foundation stone ceremony was postponed multiple times.
