The Army will dedicate Balidan Sthambh, a war memorial, to the people of the state on November 24. The Army has constructed this unique memorial at Bahu Wali Rakh in Jammu.
“Since Independence, the state has witnessed many wars fought by the country. The history of the state is replete with a saga of extraordinary valour, enduring courage and supreme sacrifice made by the countrymen in upholding the sanctity of its borders and the sovereignty of the nation,” a defence spokesperson said.
The Balidan Sthambh comprises an imposing 60-m high tower with an external flame at its base. The tower is encircled by a wall wherein on one side battle accounts of each war fought in the state have been inscribed, while on the other side carries the names of martyrs.
