Uttar Pradesh: Moradabad Municipal Corporation ready to display victory sagas in war museum
Moradabad: The Uttar Pradesh municipal government of Moradabad is preparing to showcase the triumphs of the Indian military at the War Museum, which is now being built. Stories of “Indian heroes” in all significant wars and terrorist attacks, from 1947 to the Pulwama terror attack, will also be on display at the museum.
The local body was building the War Museum, Kargil Vijay Smarak, and Captain Vijayant Thapar’s monument at a cost of Rs 25 crore, which will be opened on July 4, according to Moradabad Municipal Commissioner Divyanshu Patel. This is being done in honor of the July 26 celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Kargil War (1999).
“The Kargil Vijay Smarak, Captain Vijayant Thapar’s monument, and the War Museum are being built by the Municipal Corporation of Moradabad for Rs 25 crore in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Kargil War (1999). We have planned to include events from 1947 to the Pulwama assault into it, and it will be launched on July 4,” Patel told the media source.
According to the municipal commissioner, in keeping with the concept of cultural nationalism, a monument for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks has also been included, as well as a space for the newly initiated Operation Sindoor.
“We have built structures that highlight the accomplishments of Maharana Sanga, Maharana Pratap, and Prithviraj Chauhan—symbols of national pride—and we will also include Operation Sindoor in it. It also has a tribute to the terrible incident of 26/11. “Cultural nationalism is a theme that the Municipal Corporation Moradabad is constantly working on,” he said.
The horrific Pahalgam terror incident, which killed 26 people, prompted the Indian Army to begin Operation Sindoor. On May 7, India launched an attack deep into Pakistani territory, destroying nine terror facilities associated with Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
According to sources who spoke to the media, prominent terrorists connected to LeT and JeM, including Maulana Yusuf Azhar, who was sought for the IC-814 hijacking, were killed as a consequence of the Indian Armed Forces’ targeted attacks on nine terror facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Sources claim that among the targets were important individuals engaged in weapons training, radical indoctrination, and the planning of terror acts in Jammu and Kashmir.
