CHANDIGARH, SEPT 5
The Punjab Government would develop ‘Aam Khas Bagh’ at Fatehgarh as a
state-of-the-art tourism destination Mughal Heritage monument.
A decision to this effect was taken by the Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Parkash
Singh Badal during a meeting with the senior officers of the Tourism and
Cultural Affairs department here today. The Chief Minister also approved to
constitute a committee for preparing a detailed plan for this project.
Taking part in the deliberations Mr. Badal said that he had personally
visited this place of great historic significance, where the Royal couples
used to stay while going to and coming back from Lahor during Mughal’s
period. This Royal inn that was initially built by Babur and rebuilt by
Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the middle of Delhi and Lahore along the Grand
Trunk road, could be adopted as World Heritage site as it has a great
potential to attract tourists from within and outside of the country, added
Mr. Badal.
The Chief Minister further instructed
the concerned department to undertake the renovation work in such a manner
that original texture and paintings on the walls and the roofs, depicting
Mughal architectural proficiency could be preserved in their original form.
He further asked the Chief Secretary to implement this entire project under
his personal guidance and supervision.
Prominent amongst those who were
present in the meeting included, Tourism, Cultural Affairs Mr. Sarwan Singh
Phillaur, Advisor to CM Mr. Mahesh Singh Grewal, Chief Secretary Mr. Rakesh
Singh, Principal Secretary to CM, Mr. SK Sandhu, Principal Secretary Tourism
Mrs. Geetika Kalha, Special Principal Secretaries to CM, Mr. KJS Cheema and
Mr. Gurkirat Kirpal Singh, Secretary Expenditure Mr. Dalip Kumar, Director
Cultural Affairs Dr. KS Sra, Director Hospitality Mr. NS Brar and Deputy
Commissioner Mr. Yashvir Mahajan.
