He also announced the construction of a heritage street in Bhagat Singh's native village to showcase the glorious contribution of Punjab in the country's freedom struggle. The 850-metre-long heritage street will connect the existing museum to Bhagat Singh's ancestral house in the village.
According to an official statement, Mann said that the martyrdom of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev will ever inspire us to rise against any form of injustice, tyranny, and oppression. He said that it is the moral duty of us all to wage war against all forms of social maladies prevailing in society.
