Lapses in Jallianwala Bagh Facelift

A team of The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) has pointed out “improper descriptive text” on wall panels and “misspelt signboards written in Punjabi” at the historic Jallianwala Bagh, site in Amritsar. Previously, objections were raised over fresh alterations done and structures raised during the multi-crore facelift project of Jallianwala Bagh.

According to a report in The Tribune, the team’s observations have also been brought to the notice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is the chairman of the Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Trust, and other trustees, including the Punjab Chief Minister, for rectification.

In December of 2021, Tarlochan Singh, a former Member of Parliament and member of the Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Trust pinpointed several lapses in the changes and additions that were introduced during the renovation carried out by the ministry under the supervision of Archeological Survey of India (ASI) and had also submitted a report to the Union Ministry of Culture.
