Arora said that the Punjab government would upgrade the monument built in the memory of the martyrs besides a dedicated corridor from the national highway to the martyrs’ samadhi.

“Apart from that solar powered lights and a pump would also be installed at the memorial. A team from Punjab Energy Development Agency will visit the memorial soon in this regard,” he said.

Arora dedicated the statue of Sri Arut Ji Maharaj at Fazilka to people. The statue has been installed by Sri Arorvansh Welfare Society at Aroravansh Park in MC colony, Fazilka.
