“Our focus is on transforming historical sites into compelling tourist destinations,” said Maan. “Numerous Punjabis gave their all for their country. It is our responsibility to protect and honour these monuments. By improving these historic sites, we hope to teach the next generation about these locations and the sacrifices made by our martyrs, the minister continued.
In keeping with the colourful Basant festival taking place in the state, Maan also announced a cash award of Rs 10 lakh for kite-flying competitions.
Prior to the occasion, the Cabinet Minister paid a visit to the national martyrs memorial where she honoured famous figures from India’s liberation movement such as Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev.
