Hence Lord Shiva had to take the avatar of Tripurari or Tripurantaka to kill them with a single arrow to restore peace everywhere.

Singh dedicated to the Nation renovated Rezang La Memorial at a solemn ceremony at Chushul in Ladakh on November 18, 2021.

Rezang La Memorial History

The Memorial was constructed in 1963 in the Chushul plains, at an altitude of over 15,000 feet, right at the India-China border to honour the troops of Charlie Company of 13 KUMAON Regiment, who on November 18, 1962, had defended Rezang La and the surrounding areas located at over 16,500 feet on the Kailash Ranges in Eastern Ladakh.

The decision to renovate the Memorial was taken by Rajnath Singh when he had visited Leh in June 2021. In a major upgradation exercise, the renovation of the Memorial commenced in mid-July and the complex was ready within three months for inauguration on the 59th anniversary of the battle.

The Raksha Mantri paid homage to the gallant Indian soldiers who fought the Battle of Rezang La and laid wreath at the Memorial. In his address, he said, the courage and sacrifice of the Charlie Company will always inspire future generations, describing the Rezang La memorial as an epitome of the passion, determination and fearless spirit of the bravehearts of the country.

“The renovation of the memorial is not only a tribute to our valiant Armed Forces, but also a symbol of the fact that we are fully prepared to protect the integrity of the nation. This monument symbolises the Government’s stand of giving a befitting reply to anyone who threatens our sovereignty and integrity,” said Rajnath Singh.

Singh appreciated that the renovation of the memorial was carried out on the lines of a national-level memorial without compromising with the original structure and sentiments attached to it.

He said, “The renovated memorial will attract people from within the country & abroad; bolster the feeling of nationalism and encourage tourism. He congratulated all those who worked tirelessly in harsh conditions for the renovation of the monument.”

Gehlot had played a very crucial role in sports sector by making Kabaddi an internationally recognized sport. Not just kabaddi but outside sports world he was greatly inclined towards politics as well.

Sri Lanka will conduct a detailed scientific research into its aviation past to find out if the King Ravana was the world’s first seasoned aviator and whether there were aircraft and airports  during those days in Lanka.

Two years back, many historians, archaeologists, scientists and geologists gathered together in Colombo in a conference to give a push to the idea which concluded that Ravana first flew his aircraft from Sri Lanka to India and back.

Soon after the conference, the then Sri Lankan government sanctioned an initial grant of 5 million Sri Lankan Rupee (SLR) to start the research.

Shashi Danatunge, former vice chairman of the Sri Lankan Civil Aviation Authority told media that he was convinced that Ravana is not a mythological figure. 

“He was a real king and had aircraft and airports. Ancient Sri Lankans and Indians had access to superior technologies and we should conduct an objective research into it,” Danatugne said adding that he has requested the Government of India to join the project believing it to be an important research for two nations to assert their ancient achievements.
