Mysore/Mysuru: At last, the 22-year-long wait for the construction of a War Memorial in city ended this morning with Chamaraja MLA L. Nagendra laying the foundation stone for the Memorial at the NCC Parade Grounds adjacent to the Deputy Commissioner’s Office here, in the absence of District Minister S.T. Somashekar.
Speaking on the occasion, Nagendra said that he felt really happy for having laid the foundation stone for the War Memorial, in memory of martyred soldiers, at the land that falls under his Constituency. Noting that scores of soldiers across the country from the three wings of our Defence Forces have sacrificed their lives while defending, safeguarding and securing our country’s borders, he said that it is something special that the War Memorial, estimated to cost Rs.1.41 crore, is coming up in Mysuru at a befitting venue.
