Amritsar, November 1

A state-level function to commemorate the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Valmiki was held at Ram Tirath, believed to be the ancient hermitage site of the sage, near here on Saturday.

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh virtually laid the foundation stone for projects worth Rs 50 crore at the Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Sthal (Ram Tirath), which includes a panorama on the sage, facade illumination, filtration plant in the sarovar, furniture for the sarai and construction of a ‘parikrama’. Technical Education Minister Charanjit Singh Channi was present during the function.

The CM also virtually inaugurated a new Ram Tirath ITI and gave the go-ahead for the establishment of a Skill Development Centre to prepare Dalit students for competitive exams. — TNS
