Centre to Build Memorial for Partition Victims at Kolkata's Sealdah Station
The Indian government plans to build a memorial statue at Kolkata's Sealdah railway station to honor victims of the 1947 Partition. Announced by Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, the memorial will take an abstract form representing the suffering endured during Partition, particularly by people from West Bengal and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The project, supported by Indian Railways, is expected to be completed by November and coincides with commemorations around Independence Day and Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.
