Delhi govt plans to revamp GTB memorial as key tourist attraction
New Delhi: Delhi govt has decided to revamp Guru Teg Bahadur Memorial, located near the Singhu border on GT Road, and develop it into a tourist attraction. Officials said Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation had initiated the process to engage a consultant to conceptualise, design and create a light and sound show, while the repair and beautification of the memorial had already started. According to them, tourism minister Kapil Mishra and environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa visited the memorial along with a team of officials in April and found it in a state of neglect. Mishra had said the place deserved to be a cultural and spiritual beacon and would soon be revamped to include laser shows, cultural performances and guided heritage tours, while visitor facilities would be upgraded to make it a must-visit destination for devotees and tourists alike. A govt official mentioned that the show would feature vibrant visuals and animations, making it a unique and memorable event. "The consultant is expected to give particular attention to the life of Guru Teg Bahadur. The design should preferably be energy efficient, using traditional materials, natural light, etc. The laser-controlled sound and light show has been proposed to be based on the life of Guru Teg Bahadur, 'Hind Ki Chadar'," said an official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Spanning 11.87 acres, the memorial is dedicated to the supreme sacrifice of the ninth guru of Sikhism.
