The Delhi government is all set to launch a nationwide campaign to document the "known and unknown" freedom fighters and upload the information on a designated website.
Delhi Development Minister Gopal Rai said a four-member committee has been formed to source information about freedom fighters from across the country under the campaign to be launched from January 20.
He said the website 'shaheedkosh.Delhi.Gov.In' was being developed as a "one-stop platform for people looking for information about freedom fighters".

"As of now, information about freedom fighters is scattered and in many cases not even known. Though we hear about several heroic feats of freedom fighters at local level, they have not been documented. This is an effort to collate data from across and after due verification, compile them and put them out for public consumption," the minister said.
Rai said the AAP government will write to the Union Home Ministry and district magistrates across the country, seeking such information.
People can also send their inputs in this regard to the website. The inputs will be verified by the four-member team before being uploaded on the website.
