Protest Demands Memorial Restoration for 1965 War Hero
Imagine a hero from a war long ago, Major Bhupinder Singh.
He was very brave and helped win important battles!
People built a special place to remember him, with a statue and a tank.
But, it was moved to a less important spot.
Now, some people want to bring the statue and tank back to their original spot at a busy place called Bharat Nagar Chowk.
They held a meeting and protest to ask for the memorial to be put back where everyone can see it.
They've even given a deadline, if nothing happens they may make an even bigger protest.
The goal is to honor the hero and remember his bravery.
A protest and public meeting were held to commemorate Major Bhupinder Singh's 60th martyrdom anniversary.
The Public Action Committee (PAC) demands the restoration of the war hero's memorial in Ludhiana.
The memorial, including a statue and tank, was previously moved to a less prominent location.
The PAC has given the administration a deadline of Diwali for the memorial's restoration.
Contempt notice has been served to Hero Cycles Ltd., National Highways Authority, and Ludhiana Municipal Corporation.
