City’s War Memorial to be completed by 2025 R-Day
Final polishing work underway for granite slabs; engraving work next
Mysuru: The construction of the War Memorial at the NCC Parade Grounds near the old Deputy Commissioner’s Office along Mysuru-Hunsur Road in the city has reached its final stage.
Work has begun to polish the slabs, which will complete the War Memorial in time for Republic Day celebrations on Jan. 26,
2025, honouring the soldiers who defended the nation and made supreme sacrifice. The construction of War Memorial in city was a 25-year struggle, but fortunately, the project is nearing completion after a prolonged delay. Over the past few years, the construction has been progressing steadily and has reached its final stage. After a brief hiatus over the past 2-3 months, the construction resumed yesterday.
Six months ago, the foundation for the Memorial was laid with cement, upon which six massive slabs were placed. Additionally, six large stone slabs, previously donated from Chamarajanagar district, were shaped and positioned for this purpose. These slabs were polished in the initial stage and prepared in a gopuram-style finish.
