On the 114th birth anniversary of revolutionary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, Panchkula MLA Gian Chand Gupta announced that community centres in the city will be named after martyrs.
There are around 18 community centres in the city while three more are under construction. Gupta said that in the next General House meeting of the municipal corporation, which is likely to take place in 15 days, a resolution will be passed in this regard.
Gupta made the announcement during a function organised at Shaheed Bhagat Singh Chowk. Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal was also present at the event. He said many young sons of the nation have sacrificed their lives for their motherland, and remembered Major Anuj Rajput, who died in a chopper crash in J&K’s Udhampur last week.
