Spread over an area of approximately 40 acres, this monument consists of four concentric circles, such as’ Amar Chakra, Veerta Chakra, ‘Tyag Chakra’ and ‘Rakshak Chakra’ in which there are 25-2542 soldiers, who are mentioned in golden letters on granite tablets.

The PM dedicated the memorial built at a cost of Rs. 176 crores by burning the flame deployed on the bottom of the obelisk made of stone. Gulab petals were bathed with the Indian Air Force helicopters and a fly-past was also a part of this event in the creation of ‘Missing Man’.

The task of ensuring its “timely execution” has been allocated to a special project division, which is under the administrative head of the Ministry of Defense. Work has also been entrusted with the Military Engineer Service
