Pb govt plans memorials to make people aware of its history

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said his government would build memorials and statues to aware youths about the state's rich history.
"We should take inspirations from our rich history and religious gurus... We should make our next generations aware of our history and tradition so that they too can take inspiration from the past," Badal said at the Rain Subai Kirtan Darbar here.
He called upon the people to respect all religions and maintain communal Harmony.
Badal said it is a major achievement of the SAD-BJP government that the state witnessed peace and harmony, despite having turbulent international and state borders.

The state government has developed 'Virast-e-khalsa' museum at Sri Anadpur Sahib in the memory of the foundation of Khalsa Panth, besides the Museum of Chhota and Vadda Ghalughara and monument in the memory of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, he said.
The foundation stone for a museum at the Sri Ram Tirth in the memory of Valmiki ji at Amritsar was laid a few days ago.
