A statue of freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh is going to be inaugurated at the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar on March 13. The initiative is being undertaken by International Sarab Kamboj Sabha, an NGO, which had been demanding installation of the statue since four decades.

Sabha’s general secretary Jarnail Singh Dhot said a 10-foot marble statue of Udham Singh, in a portrait of taking the pledge to avenge Jallianwala Bagh massacre, will be installed on March 12 at the main entrance of the Bagh and inaugurated by Union home minister Rajnath Singh on March 13. He said the statue has been prepared in Rajasthan at a cost of Rs 10 lakh.
