Kalpana Chawla’s mural inaugurated in Karnal
Almost 10 days after her birthday, chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar inaugurated a giant mural dedicated to late astronaut Kalpana Chawla on the front wall of Dr Mangal Sen auditorium in Karnal.
Municipal corporation mayor Renu Bala Gupta said the 35 ft mural was created by a private bank in Kalpana Chawla’s memory as she is an inspiration for the young generation. Chawla was the first Indian origin woman to fly to space and was one of the seven crew members who died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003.
