BJP Punjab president Kewal Dhillon has pledged to revive the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Panorama located within the historic Rambagh in Amritsar. During a visit to the site on Thursday, accompanied by MP Tarun Chugh, Dhillon expressed dismay over the current state of the panorama, calling it 'in ruins.'
Historical Significance of Rambagh and Panorama
The Rambagh, a historic garden in Amritsar, houses the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Panorama, which showcases the life and legacy of the 19th-century Sikh ruler. The site has been neglected over the years, leading to its dilapidated condition.
Dhillon's Visit and Observations
Kewal Dhillon, after inspecting the premises, emphasized the need for immediate restoration. He stated that the panorama holds great cultural and historical value and must be preserved for future generations. The BJP chief assured that the party would take necessary steps to revive the site.
MP Tarun Chugh, who accompanied Dhillon, echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the importance of maintaining heritage sites. The visit was part of a broader initiative to assess and improve historical landmarks in Punjab.
Restoration Plans
While specific details of the revival plan were not disclosed, Dhillon indicated that the BJP would collaborate with local authorities and heritage experts to restore the panorama to its former glory. The project is expected to boost tourism and educate visitors about Maharaja Ranjit Singh's contributions.
The announcement has been welcomed by local residents and historians, who have long advocated for the preservation of the site. The panorama, once restored, is anticipated to become a key attraction in Amritsar.
